MIT to Offer Joint Degree in Computer Science and Economics
- grizzles 9y agoEconomics is a sham discipline. Economists are like the witch doctors of the modern era, spinning whichever narrative they feel is the correct one. I wish MIT would just call the field something else like "social dynamics". Sort of like how physiotherapy is offered at Universities instead of the chiropractic mumbo jumbo.
- Abishek_Muthian 9y agoThis means entrepreneurs with such degree needn't necessarily add a co-founder with major in MBA from an ivy league college just so that they could get past investor's prejudice - "You are just a tech guy, you wouldn't know how to run the company you founded without a co-founder from management background". Let's not be naive, even Elon Musk faced it. P.S BTW when I did my CSE, we had full semester subject on economics & management studies. Isn't that the case in top institutions?
