Ask an Economist

Overview

Ask an Economist is a GPT designed to respond to queries about historical economic thought. This tool, operating on the platform of ChatGPT, guides users in exploring varied topics in economic theory, with a special emphasis on the perspectives of famous economic theorists across history.

Its framework makes it optimal for individuals seeking an understanding of how prominent economists like Adam Smith, David Ricardo, John Stuart Mill, or John Maynard Keynes might interpret specific economic situations or tenets.

The value of this GPT lies in its capability to simulate scholarly discourse and provide insight into different schools of economic thought. Users can initiate conversations with prompt starters such as 'What would Adam Smith say about...', 'Explain like I'm Ricardo on...', 'As J.S.

Mill, what is your view on...', and 'How would Keynes interpret...'. While this tool provides a fascinating angle for self-education in economics, it should be noted that the tool's responses should be seen as an AI approximation of these economists' views based on their written works and not direct assertions from the economists themselves.

ChatGPT Plus is required to use Ask an Economist.
