First of all, economics is not difficult. I first learned that economics started with the first edition of Gao Hongye, and it was precisely because I occasionally read this book when I was an undergraduate that I became interested in economics.

Secondly, western economics has its own system, which should be understood at least before learning. She is divided into microeconomics and macroeconomics.

The microscopic part mainly talks about consumer theory, manufacturer theory and market theory. This demonstration process is very logical. Maximum utility of consumers+maximum profit of manufacturers = > On these two premises, the equilibrium state of the market is studied. This is basically about the micro. This part is the initial content of the development of western economics, because freedom and the role of "invisible hand" were emphasized at that time, and government intervention was opposed. So it is also called classical economics.

Later (after World War II), due to the outbreak of the economic crisis, the laissez-faire thought of classical economic theory was untenable in the field of economics. Keynes stood up and introduced another theoretical system: the government intervenes in the market (macro-economic part), so the micro and macro are not juxtaposed, but appear before and after the time, just like the original work of A Dream of Red Mansions was Cao Xueqin, and Cai E later wrote the second half, but they are all called A Dream of Red Mansions.

Macroscopically, it mainly focuses on the intervention of government actions in the market and the overall operation of the market, which is very rich in content and has developed beyond the original content.

As for this school and that school you mentioned, don't worry about it for the time being, as long as you remember it. The function of these so-called schools is only to learn from you when you study problems. After all, most of them have become history, and not all of them are accepted by mainstream economics. For beginners, there is no need to remember it thoroughly, and it is impossible to remember it thoroughly, because you don't even understand the most basic things, let alone these "one-sided opinions." However, it is undeniable that these different schools have greatly promoted the development of economics.

Finally, when you encounter something you can't do, let it go first. Maybe the answer sometimes comes later. Only after reading it several times can you understand it thoroughly. Economics is a very attractive subject, so we should study hard.
