Business and economics are extremely relative to this user base. A core understanding of how the economy is doing, where it's headed, etc. is very important. If Web 2.0 is moving to the enterprise, then understanding what's happening in business is VERY important.

- davidw 18y agoI find economics fascinating. The unfortunate fact is, though, that most economic discussions very rapidly degrade into libertarians vs non libertarians or capitalists vs socialists, or something along those lines. Another popular one is Austrian economics vs Mainstream economics.
- astine 18y agoIt's difficult to have a high level discussion on something if you don't agree on a low level. For example: individuals from the Austrian and Neo-Classical schools will necessarily have a different understanding of the current financial crisis. As such, they'll have to reconcile their underlying theories in order to coherently debate the implications of those theories. It's rather unfortunate, I think we could largely limit such discussions to just the points relevant to 'hackers,' but I don't think that we could avoid such degeneration altogether.
