Once upon a time, I took an entry-level economics course at Georgia Tech. It was part of the required curriculum for engineers, so it’s not like I took the class because I had this burning desire to learn about supply, demand, and why I don’t have any money.
Anyway, even though I had a full semester’s worth of micro-economic details thrown my direction, I absorbed very little theoretical knowledge about economics and economic systems. This remained mostly true up until this summer when the election and the sub-prime mortgage crisis collided, resulting in a glut of informative articles and pieces on economics all over the Web.
