Economic Yea Forumserature

Nope. In terms of the economic world, I'm a bit of a brainlet. If you're sort of into the idea of learning about development economics, but you're not ready to commit to a textbook, Dead Aid is a popular read. It highlights all of the biggest problem about African-based aid and what's wrong with it. It also proposes several solutions that are commonly talked about, both good and bad. Including microfinance and literally just letting China buy Africa.

I just remembered I bookmarked this guy's big reading list with more development economic books in case you do discover an interest.

bactra.org/notebooks/globalization.html

The guy has a ton of notebooks of recommendations, and I'll let that speak for itself. I know he has a ton of other economics-based recommendations.

There's no substitute for real-life interactions. If there was, then shut-ins who only communicate with online friends whom they've never met, and interact with them every day, would be social butterflies when they go out into that terribly bright Sun and see actual flesh-and-blood people.

I was cripplingly socially awkward but a couple years ago or so I decided to attempt fixing this. Step out of my comfort zone, seek out opportunities to interact with strangers, and just... see how it goes. Does it always go well? No, of course not, there's lots of different people out there and some are bloody unpleasant. Also, sometimes you just say the wrong thing at the wrong time due to sheer ignorance. Around 4-5 years ago I almost inadvertently started a fight at a pub. How? I was having a chat with an Irishman and called him British... and he's a proud fellow from the REPUBLIC of Ireland, not Northern Ireland that is still a part of the United Kingdom under Queen Elizabeth II. Thankfully I caught on that I was fucking up so sought to learn from him, and thankfully we had a pleasant conversation indeed. I can't recall shaking hands but I'm certain we did before parting ways. Good fellow, and he said I'd be useful for the IRA due to my extensive knowledge on firearms and reasonably decent experience given the fact I'm still just in my 20s and that I'm Canadian. Took it as a compliment.

Anyhow, escape your comfort zone. Stand up straight with your shoulders back and face the world forthrightly. Take on responsibility and bloody-well make something of yourself, bucko.

As an economist, I'm not sure why people think it's the purpose of economics to give "knowledge about theories that seem to apply in modern civilization".
We're to pol sci/sociology what mathematics is to physics.

Beyond Neo-classical in general? There are increasingly important, but complex, theories which deal with the non-idealized externalities (ie the things which tend to make market "irrational"). Eco-economics (earth-chan), Info-economics (value of data), Behavioral economics (psychology vs game theory - rent seeking, usury, speculation)...

A lot of time, those appear as papers for quant models, rather than some prose.

Any compilation of those papers about behavioral economics ? Sounds really interesting. Thanks for the orientation too

Just google around. Personally I know only a little bit about models of speculative bubbles as explained by behavioral econ.

A "primer" could be cesifo-group.de/DocDL/cesifo1_wp1194.pdf but in reality the models can't be generalized as neatly (it's very different to corner commodity, equity, cryptocurrency, housing zone...).

Agreed man, but usually only the mathematical kind is like that. A rather impartial look at the building blocks of mankind :3

There's a handful of charts on the wiki, pic related. Personally I'm reading "Economics in one lesson" by Mr. Hazlitt at the moment. Good book if you're completely new to the subject.

If you're interested in behavioral economics then check out Daniel Kahneman, Richard Thaler, Robert Shiller and Dan Ariely. Shiller is definitely my favorite out of those, and Ariely my least favorite. Thinking, fast and slow is probably the most well known book, with Nudge coming in second.

Don't listen to these people.
There are no books on economics outside of graduate texts that even mention the mathematical failure at the heart of all economic theories: that of a consistent conservation law across all perspectives.

All math requires something to remain invariant to create the conservation laws that allow deduction and induction to occur.

Conservation laws of matter, energy, time, quantity, rate, acceleration, and constants across frames gives Physics its predictive power.

Economic conservation laws change and can be manipulated.
But most importantly, economic theories all ASSUME conservation laws because of cherry picked results.
Even the neo-classical Supply and Demand, Competition, and free market all Pretend there is a conservation of matter, but real economists freely admit that economics only behaves as if there is conservation in very narrow circumstances.
Heterodox economic theories are just starting to accept that the stance that economics "behaves as if" this S&D conservation exists is a lie purposely told to fool the naive.

So don't poison your mind with the bullshit.
If you want to see the ice starting to crack, look up Modern Monetary Theory. It is Bullshit, but at least it can entertain conclusions such as "printing money doesn't lead to inflation", and "when wage cheats the buyer's side of the equation, the market no longer functions" that classical theory cannot make work.

good blogposting faggot

Because he's not a discord tranny.

Link?

Order Without Law by Ellickson

That's a pretty specific set of characteristics, user.

what a dumb list

If you actually want to understand anything, you need to read something like Advanced Macroeconomics by romers. After that just read macro economics papers. They'll be hard at first, but you'll quickly get a hang of it if you arent a brainlet. In general, you want as much math as possible.

the book is posted is a decent introduction, but if you're comfortable with calculus you should read recursive macroeconomic theory.

Anyways, both the books i posted are fully avilable online. Reading books like wealth of nations is interesting, but it is not going ot give you any understanding of modern economics or economies what so ever, its purely historical.
