Economics in film

Portrayals of economics in film include the depiction of economic principles, themes, and concepts within cinematic narratives. Films often use economic elements as part of their stories, even when not explicitly focused on economics. Films can incorporate economic ideas into their narratives, often without the audience consciously recognizing them.

The integration of economic principles include portrayals of consumption decisions, resource allocation, and production costs. Film has been used as a tool to illustrate economic principles, and numerous academic and popular works explore its potential in teaching economics. By embedding economic ideas into storytelling, films reveal the pervasive nature of economic principles and their relevance to everyday life, illustrating the connections between theoretical concepts and real-world decision-making.
