It’s been a few years since my economics minor, but likely more recently than you.

Considering you cant name a book, i doubt it. I’m currently reading The Value of Everything by Mariana Mazzucato and Yurugu by Marimba Ani. I cant recommend both of them enough. Its about culture as much as it is about economics.

I mean, no. I’m not going to go dig up the syllabus for my econ classes just to prove a point.

You clearly don’t understand economics if you think paying for housing for 335,000,000 citizens is even remotely feasible without a major tax increases on everyone.

Communism is a nice thought experiment, but it’ll never actually work because humans are awful.

So you haven’t read a book on economics since you graduated, got it.

“Humans are awful” is why they call econ the dismal science; did they actually present that as a reason why communism wouldn’t work when your classes covered it?

This is some hard hexbear vibes. Asking for titles of books read is unbearably cringe.

If one is a student if economics, naming a book on economics to confirm your bonafides is as low a bar to jump over as humanly possible. Books aren’t cringe, you are just basic.
