      Economics is pseudoscience. X economists x^x answers. The antithesis of science.
      Economics is 100 % manipulated to benefit the tiniest minority.

    Once I took a course called, "A brief course in semi-micro qualitative analysis," and the name alone made me feel so damn smart that I made sure everyone could see my textbook.

    you gave me another chance to study what i love but couldn't study before because of some financial issues.
    you made me, belive more that the science is free for all to know and study!

    did you know Understanding The Tyrant
    Piled before the tyrant is a feast of kingly proportions, like a Thanksgiving Day feast flowing across his dinner table. You sit quietly without access to the table, but in your hands you do hold a little crust of bread. This is all you have and you cradle it carefully because it must be made to last. And even though the tyrant’s belly is full and he has more than he could possibly ever eat in a lifetime, all he can think about is YOUR little crust.
    All he wonders about day and night is why you have that crust when it should be his. He grinds his teeth frothing in desperation for your meager meal. Then one day he decides he will not stop until your bread crust is in his hands while you starve. This is now his mission in life - To take your crust and crumbs and leave you with nothing. Any other outcome would be unimaginable.
    He not only wants to steal your crust, but he wants to see your despair when he does it. He wants you to know he has your last meal, and he wants to see the pain in your face when he takes it away. Then, he wants you act like you love him for it.

    This a very wonderful I depend about MIT university course’s specialty in economy but I am Blind From Yemen you know about little coasts so I depend about your learning so I wish to give a lot of courses in the economy specialty about visibility study and central banking and econometrics and so forth two related clothes can’t to be learning a lot from you until to improve from myself be easier

    "I believe that economic theory has arrived at a point in its development where the appeal to quantitative empirical data has become more necessary than ever. At the same time its analyses have reached a degree of complexity that require the application of a more refined scientific method than that employed by the classical economists."
    So Frisch wasn't suggesting here that economics is faith based and needed a scientific overhaul to remain relevant and predicatively effective? He was instead suggesting that Pure Economics is already scientifically refined to the point of producing empirical quantitative data?
    Fascinating...

      lol I worked with an engineer that I really respected and asked “how should I invest my money?” He told me to read this book, so I read it in less than a week. I went back to him and said all it told me was to basically invest in the s&p 500 index fund is that it? He smiled and walked away lol
