Very interesting how this zero-sum approach that we’ve been facing here in the UK is now emerging in the US.

One of the great pleasures of my time at Oxford was lecturing on the Edgeworth box at the Gulbenkian and then walking by that cemetery! Somehow my students weren’t as amused by the Edgeworth box/ Edgeworth in a box joke as I was 🧐

Welcome new #Economists moving to #EconSky!

I have a thread of Starter Packs in the link if you are seeking your people. The lack of algorithm means *you need to follow people* otherwise you will experience BlueSky as dead.

If I've missed an Econ-relevant Starter Pack, let me know in my DMs.

Yes we follow it quite closely. What our students struggle with is the story arc and starting early with strategic behaviour whereby have done demand-supply curves and v mechanical econ at school. Our students also have Maths A levels coming in though it can (and has) be taught w/o that maths
