Economics meet J.G.
I can't believe I've made it through 27 years of my life without being forced to have a thorough understanding of economics. Today that streak has come to an end. I spent the morning reading my glossy new textbook and gobbling up the theories like a kid in a candy store. So THIS is what I've been reading about in
Adbusters! Sure, I have understood most of the concepts before, but what I've been trying to figure out on my own is how to get everyone ELSE to understand the relationship between limited resources and infinite demands....
I arrived to class almost excited to jump into economics -- only to sit through a half hour introduction by our professor all about his experiences at London School of Economics (a school that's becoming quite familiar to me as of late). Stories about him, McJagger and his other classmates. I'm always glad to hear any news from LSE students -- especially Jessica -- but never thought I'd get a 30 minute LSE history session from my Prof. Luckily, he seems to be pretty cool and I'm ever so thankful that his opinions sway towards goodwill, not corporate greed.
I'll be back to write more later, ceteris paribus.
