saac Estabrook loves to solve puzzles. This love led him to Economics at Hillsdale College, where he is learning to combine economic theory with programming and data analysis to explore complex social systems, dynamic models of behavior, and the responsible use of machine learning.

He sees economics as a means of understanding how culture and character help or hinder human flourishing and education as the process by which these virtues are revitalized and preserved.
