Sigh goodbye Karma, but...
I think this is horseshit.
The reason being: most of what you read online will be heavily modified to support the ideology of the author... which quite frankly, outside of neuroscience, is the biggest problem Economics faces: politics and ideology.
Economics is not finance, nor is finance economics.
Economics is about resource management, and both micro/macro are just that at different levels. The real holy grail of Econ is how merge them, what I think lies I the effects of agglomeration...
If you want to get your white belt in economics: go read something historical, not mathematical. Ricardo, Keynes, Friedman, Smith, Galbraith, Veblen, Marx, Krugman... the math and statistics come easily and intuitively if you understand the theory.
Rates of change themselves don’t make you fluent in economics, showing why the fuck you even need that rate of change is economics.
- unbalancedparen 8y agoHi rubyn00bie. I am the author. I agree with what you wrote. It is really important to understand the history of economic political thought. Nowadays most economic careers, specially in the developed world, are way too focused on mathematics. That is why I wrote: "Not only do we not fully understand how the economy works but also there is an endless debate on how it should function. Everyone has values and an ideology even if they don’t tell you. You should keep that in mind while studying economics. In this roadmap I try to recommend the tools easily available and that are a part of the current economic thought."
