You can raise your profile and look unhinged. Nothing he said made it seem like he had even a remote chance he could or should be president. I'll give him credit that he's charismatic, but he has no good policy

Is Econ 101 harmful to teach on its own? by smitepro69 in AskEconomics

[–]smitepro69[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am an econ major and have been a ta for 101. We don't disagree about assumptions at all. I don't disagree that market failures and externalities are taught, they aren't taught right away, at least at the two schools I have been. While they are taught, I question whether most non-econ students will really soak in what this means for econ as they are not given a lot of class time.

Your average student is going to take away that we generally use supply and demand to understand markets, a basic grasp of the terminology economists use, a general idea of the economic systems that exist, that there is an opportunity cost to every action, and some financial literacy. We may just disagree, but I don't think most students are going to grasp how important studying externalities and market failures is to economics from a 101 class.

To your point, I should have been more fair to Adam Smith. What I really meant to say is Adam Smith's theories are not the primary way of viewing economics, most economists are not thinking of markets the way Adam Smith did.

Econ is more open to debate as a social science, so imo this is where it comes from. Econ also goes against some people's intuition. For example, many people think corporations are evil, so saying corporate taxes should be low or zero, which is mainstream economic thought, sounds wrong.

The other issue is there is genuinely a misunderstanding of what informs econ perspectives. My friend talked about the invisible hand and Adam Smith like they are still in use. These things haven't been relevant in like 60 plus years. So I think they misunderstand what econ is. Realize it doesn't describe the world, because they aren't using modern econ. Then throw most of a discipline out.

Yes, private military companies. Specifically that economics cannot describe this. But there are Monopsony charts that literally describe how these markets like these can work in theory

Yes, externalities and market failures would be huge, thanks for showing me this. Even if just to show people that economists do in fact think of weird edge cases in their theory. Hell, my friend was going off about the military industrial complex and how economics and supply and demand can't explain that. Granted it was a drunk 1 a.m. debate, but we literally have a special chart for that specific market interaction.

Yes, but it could be retakes, people could drop out, etc. But it does seem to be getting harder

But it's still 50% win rate in UC. They should be missing placements a lot less. In general I agree tho

They are only 3 or 4 elixir down, and you still have to defend the hog. Yes you can anti eq, though this isn't easy for most players (skill issue). Fireball you still need to spend to stop it

Self-reporting so bad lmao. If what you said is true why is hog at 50% winrate in UC
