Econ 101: Institutions, Incentives & Property Rights | This Week's Economy Ep. 113

How do we make sense of inflation, government overreach, or why housing costs keep climbing? It all comes back to basic economic principles—ideas too often ignored by those crafting the laws that shape our lives. So this week on This Week’s Economy, I’m kicking off a new Econ 101 series to reconnect the fundamentals of economics with the everyday issues Americans face. These aren’t abstract theories. They’re tools for protecting prosperity.In today’s episode, I explain what economics really means, why strong institutions and secure property rights are the foundation of growth, and how bad incentives and broken systems have left our economy in a fragile state.
