Economics

About this episode

In this episode of the I Can't Sleep Podcast, drift off to sleep while learning about economics. Did you know the word economics comes from the Greek word for... zzzzzzzz. Wait, what was I saying? Oh, right—economics is sure to do the job of putting you to sleep. The only thing I vaguely remember is something about a Greek word. Happy sleeping!
