England keep reaching major finals. Italy did not even qualify for the 2018 or 2022 World Cups. I know they beat us in the Euro final. I was there. Don't remind me ⚽

So what changed? The answer is partly economics.

In the early 2000s, English football had a problem. Too few elite players were coming through. So the FA, Premier League and government backed organisations invested heavily in facilities, coaching and youth development.

Through the Football Foundation, billions of pounds went into grassroots facilities across England. St George's Park opened in 2012, modelled on the best development systems used overseas 🏟️

From an economics perspective, football can be viewed as a merit good. Without investment, the market underprovides coaching, facilities and youth opportunities. Investing in it creates positive externalities. Better health, stronger communities, better sporting performance.

The results? England's men and women have both reached major finals. The youth system has produced Saka, Bellingham, Rashford and Palmer. Italy meanwhile has been criticised for underinvestment, ageing infrastructure and slow reform.

Talent matters. But Economics tells you something more important. Invest in human capital and infrastructure, and outcomes improve. Football is no exception 📈

It is official. A Level Economics is in the Champions League spots ⚽

The 2026 provisional data shows it is now the 5th most chosen A Level subject. When I started tutoring in 2008, it was 15th. As economists, we love a good trend, and this one is not surprising.

Economics is genuinely interesting. It combines beautifully with maths, history, politics and geography. Even if you are leaning down the science route, it offers a lovely counterbalance 📚

It is logical, it is relevant, and you are lucky enough that there are now plenty of resources and creators to guide you through it.

If you are about to start this September, enjoy the ride. It will be a bit like the business cycle. Highs and lows, but in the end, you always grow 📈

Choosing your A Levels and thinking about Economics? Here are 3 reasons it might be the perfect choice 👇

1️⃣ It explains the world around you. Why don't Apple drop iPhone prices to sell more? Why do footballers earn millions? How does government spending affect your life? Economics answers all of this and a lot more 🌍

2️⃣ It combines essays and numbers. You do not need to be amazing at maths. If you can do basic percentage changes, you are fine. You do not need to be amazing at English either. Economics sits in the middle, which is why so many students enjoy it.

3️⃣ It keeps your options open. Economics is respected by universities and useful across finance, business, law, politics and public policy. One of the most versatile A Levels, and it opens a lot of doors 🚪

4 honest answers from an A Level Economics tutor 📚

1️⃣ The biggest misconception. You do not need to be great at maths. The maths is basic. English and essay writing matter far more.

2️⃣ What separates A and A* students from the rest. Exam technique. Most B grade students understand the theory. The top students know exactly how to apply it under exam conditions.

3️⃣ My biggest pet peeve. Predicted papers. They monetise student stress, carry no accountability when wrong, and waste valuable revision time. Stick to real past papers.

4️⃣ The remark advice nobody tells you. If you are close to the next grade, never put all three papers in at once. Marks can go down as well as up. Get each paper back, review with your teacher, and submit them one at a time in order of best chance.

4 things you probably didn't know about your Economics tutor 👨‍🏫

1️⃣ What I'd be doing if I wasn't teaching. Probably selling my soul to an investment bank and questioning all my life decisions.

2️⃣ My favourite subject at school. Modern History. None of that Tudors and Medieval snoozefest. Give me the US Civil War, Bismarck and the Unification of Germany any day.

3️⃣ The novel I'd recommend to anyone. Gates of Fire by Steven Pressfield. Just go read it and thank me later 📖

4️⃣ Something students would never guess. I didn't study A Level Economics. My school didn't offer it. I did Maths, History, English Literature and Politics. Going to LSE was a serious shock to the system when I hadn't even heard of a PPF before then.
