Get the economics bachelor mug.Also known as ECON101 - A phrase styled after the usual name of an introductory economics module at university or college. It's usually used by libertarians and conservatives to explain away the problems of capitalism, with the implication that their interlocutor "simply doesn't understand basic economics", even though a lot of said basic economics go on to be debunked in Economics 201.
Lib: "The minimum wage was introduced so that every employed person could afford food and rent, but ever since the Reagan administration, wages haven't been following the massive increases in productivity, as well as skyrocketing rent."
Cons: "Bruh, that's dumb - raising wages means people must get fired! Also, rent is increasing because more people want to rent! Supply and demand - it's just Economics 101."

Get the Economics 101 mug.A metascientific field that examines the economic dimensions of scientific activity—how money flows through research systems, how funding shapes research agendas, how economic incentives influence scientific behavior, and how scientific knowledge generates economic value. The economics of science analyzes funding mechanisms (grants, contracts, institutional support), labor markets (scientists as workers, training pipelines, career structures), intellectual property regimes (patents, licensing, commercialization), and the economic impact of research (innovation, growth, productivity). It also examines how economic forces create inequalities within science—between fields, between institutions, between countries—and how these inequalities shape what gets studied and who gets to study it. The economics of science reveals that science is not just a pursuit of truth but an economic activity, embedded in markets and driven by incentives, and that understanding science requires understanding its economic logic.
Example: "His economics of science analysis showed how the shift to project-based grant funding transformed scientific practice—not just what got studied, but how scientists thought about risk, collaboration, and their own careers. When funding becomes project-based, science becomes project-shaped."
