A note of caution here. Econ is one of those disciplines where many people think they grasp the fundamentals, but actually don’t. I think if someone can’t give worked examples (with numbers or graphs) for concepts like deadweight loss, comparative advantage, or tax incidence, their intuition probably points in subtly wrong directions, and would benefit from learning this stuff systematically.
