Math, Engineering, and the Evolution of Economics
"Why Economics after Engineering?" was one common question people often asked after I left my engineering profession to study for a master's in economics. Therefore, this article aims to show the vast number of people from engineering and other fields who turned to economics and founded its basic structure. For that, I will briefly delve deep into the evolution of economic thought and show that some of the most revered economists were not economists initially. This exposes where many attempts to build economics as "the mechanics of utility and self-interest" originate.
