How Lessons in Personal Finance Can Help Teach Economics

In the latest episode of our Teach Economics podcast,  Annamaria Lusardi, faculty director of the Initiative for Financial Decision-Making at Stanford University, talks about her career journey and passion for teaching personal finance education. “When the tooth fairy comes is the time to talk about money,” she says. “Give a piggy bank to a child and you will instantly turn (the child) into a clever banker. I enjoy empowering people with the knowledge and skills that are so important today. I really do think I am empowering the student to be able to navigate the world around them.”
