You Might be an Economist if ....

If while reading "Little House on the Prairie" for the first time you start to wonder how much capital the Ingalls family brought with them, how the different territories developed different institutions leading to different developmental growth paths and if there are currently developing countries in a similar situation, OR attempt to monetize their household production [ie - put a dollar value on what they do] in your head while reading ... you are DEFINITELY an economist.

It's nice to know I'm in the right line of work.
