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.

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.

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.

“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?

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