Introduction to Microeconomics

Winter break, 2015. The whole field of micro/macro economics completely lost my trust.

(Yeah. The Origin of Wealth did this to me.)

I wanted to just ignore it and pick up some other course instead — but, well, it’s required for my double major. And honestly? It IS true that up until now, a huge chunk of economics problems have been solved using the ideas of traditional economics. So I do agree it needs to be improved, but —

I’m buckling down and studying this thing!!!!!!

Let’s gooo!!!!!!
