I’m still not sure economics is something you need to go to school for unless you plan on spending a life doing basic research by scouring the world for other people’s data sets. Calculus, Statistics, (good)Math for Physics instead of (bad) math for economics yes. Aside from that, reading a micro and a macro textbook, learning about 150 ‘rules of thumb’, reading Gary Becker’s work on the Economics of Human Behavior, and maybe Rothbard’s Mystery of Banking is enough. It’s mostly common sense, it’s just that it’s invisible and the entire financial system is absurd and arcane (and immoral) and the entire political system simply lies like hell every day because darwin is unacceptable to democracy and marxism. In a perfect world I’d just crank out classes for the institute, because people want a non-woo-woo education – but revolution calls.
