- zppx 17y agoAs far as I know Introductory Microeconomics is much more than that... not intending to disrespect to Joel, but my father, being a formed economist with a master degree, laugh reading this some years ago. Watching two courses on Introductory Economics and trying to analyze a [fairly complex] situation with a great number of players is the same thing as passing as a analyst after watching a course on basic calculus.
