    actually this is true… my ex went to college for econ and i helped her study often…
    i was a computer science major with a LOT of excessive math (although i do enjoy it).
    The entire field of economics is a fraud…
    the axis’s on their graphs are backwards, they have their own bullshit calculus for dummies, it’s all based on an idealized fake human called “homo economicus” that is perfectly and predictably motivated by money, and nothing else at all… it’s all such trash….

    this equation is extra fraudulent though…

      I have a graduate diploma in economics and concur it’s mostly bullshit. The lecturers essentially agreed. Didn’t bother to continue to masters as I don’t think there’s anything more to learn from the field once you’ve confirmed that the world economy is based on lies and dice rolls.
