Using a Rubik's Cube analogy, he illustrates that perfection is more important than speed in economics. The tutorial covers various economic concepts, including natural monopoly, labor market, perfect competition, monopoly, monopolistic competition, negative externality, and supply increase, with detailed explanations and graphing exercises for each.
