But taking "economics" in isolation like this ignores much of what actually happens in reality (the politics part).
It's a large part of why economics as a field is made fun of when its models are too simplistic to accurately describe reality.
- SantalBlush 4y agoYou're just piling one non-sequitur on top of another. The question on this thread is "How can I learn macroeconomics properly?" The comment to which I replied was an uninformed diatribe that doesn't even come close to answering the question. Now you're doubling down on it. When someone is asking how to learn economics, it would be helpful to take it more "in isolation" instead of regurgitating the same complaints that we see on HN and don't even answer the question.
- stevenhuang 4y agoYou can learn economics to learn economics, sure that's not in dispute. But the OP's original premise was to learn economics _to become a better investor_. If both our comments are non-sequitor to you, consider it's you who lost the plot.
- SantalBlush 4y agoOther people have effectively addressed the disconnect between learning econ and investing; the comment to which I replied did not at all. So no, I did not lose the plot.
