the word economics was coined by the philosopher Xenophon in ancient Greece, combining Oikos meaning household with Norma's meaning, rules or norms. He invented the art of household management, and it couldn't be more relevant. Today. This century, we need some pretty insightful managers to guide our planetary household on ones who are ready to pay attention to the needs of all its inhabitants. There have bean extraordinary strides in human well being over the past 60 years. Thie average child born on planet Earth in 1950 could expect to live just 48 years. Today, such a child can look forward to 71 years of life. Since 1990 alone, the number of people in extreme income poverty on less than $1.90 a day has fallen by more than half.
