President Rodrigo Duterte’s admission that he reads the book, “Economics for Dummies,” is quite candidly funny. They should approach learning and study with more eagerness to fill up gaps in their knowledge, and banish their ignorance. A real course in economics is more complex and challenging than reading a beginners’ book. And it is also understandable why great minds, such as Adam Smith and John Maynard Keynes, devoted their lives to the study of economics. That, in our view, is one good thing to know about our President.
