My background is not in economics but the financial crisis of 2008 and its aftermath kept me interested on the subject long enough to develop a general understanding of macro. I would say the economists who most shape my views would be Nick Rowe ( http://worthwhile.typepad.com/worthwhile_canadian_initi/nick-rowe/ http://worthwhile.typepad.com/worthwhile_canadian_initi/nick... ), David Beckworth ( http://macromarketmusings.blogspot.ca/ http://macromarketmusings.blogspot.ca/ ) and sometimes the more controversial but always entertaining Scott Sumner ( http://www.themoneyillusion.com/ http://www.themoneyillusion.com/ ) . A while back, I wanted to do as a side project, a game with a realistic macro economy but I got stuck at the learning phase and never got around to do the game (the rabbit hole went deeper than I had imagined). While I was researching, I put some of my musings about what I was learning in a few posts here: http://bessiambre.tumblr.com/ http://bessiambre.tumblr.com/ then later kind of summarized the views that I had formed in the following medium post: https://medium.com/@b.essiambre/the-world-deserves-a-pay-raise-302f25efd82a https://medium.com/@b.essiambre/the-world-deserves-a-pay-rai... I'm sure my conclusions are simplistic and over-general compared to those of real economists. My email is b.essiambre@gmail.com. Don't hesitate to write if you have questions.
