Ever heard of factor analysis, unobserved heterogeneity, proxies? Whatever is in your textbook is basically babytalk because you probably know little to nothing about mathematical analysis, statistics, and econometrics.

Mate, if you are "opening an economics textbook", you pretty much admit you are at the learning stage. I made no personal attacks, I just told you how it all works in the end, i. e. in research when actual papers get written. You are free to resort to greentexting and trying to make yourself look less of a fool.

You have to understand the ground level concepts before you move further. This is why in physics you start off with unrealistic assumptions like a massless string or frictionless surfaces.

get a PhD and maybe you’ll understand economics (but probably not). It’s a very contrived and unique field.

No economics textbook fails to point out that you can't compare utility curves as they are a theoretical abstraction based on consumption of goods at some price. No economics textbook fails to mention that you cannot compare utility between individuals. No economics textbook fails to point out the problem of utilitarianism as a philosophy and that it is only useful as a theoretical tool.

Okay, well, Marxist textbooks do, but then Marx was wrong about literally everything, so who cares what Marxists think.

>what are preferences

People prefer one thing over another, learn about opportunity cost
Just becuase your too stupid to understand it doesn’t make it false
People have diminishing use of things
Ie most people want 1 pillow, not 100

Why? It's supply and demand baby. Millionaires and billionaires for some reason want and are willing to pay up to 500,000 US dollars a year to someone to be in charge of lying to them. It's an important job. Someone has to lie to these rich kids.

Economics really is full of shit with no actual value. Although it is better than randomly guessing so you could so it's science
