The Economic Watchdog is committed to the persuit and discussion of all matters of economic concern. Furthermore, we serve as a place for "The People" to become informed and openly discuss matters of the economy in an academic style.
“The ideas of economists and political philosophers, both when they are right and when they are wrong, are more powerful than is commonly understood. Indeed the world is ruled by little else. Practical men, who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influence, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist.”~John Maynard Keynes(General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money, 1935)
I agree with you anon and want to add that I like how it seems less intimidating here to those of us that aren't in the field of economics but try to follow along. I also wanted to share some book titles for others who are exploring economics:
"The real price of everything;Rediscovering the six classics of economics", edited by Michael Lewis
"More sex is safer sex;The unconventional wisdom of economics", by Steven E.Landsburg
"The literary book of economics", edited by Michael Watts
"Sway; the irresistible pull of irrational behavior", by Ori Brafman and Rom Brafman
"The mind of the market;compassionate apes, competitive humans, and other tales from evolutionary economics", by Michael Shermer
