>be me>spend 2 years casually learning economics and my country's place in the global market, challenges and future>start watching interviews and podcasts of local economists for two weeks>realize that I really know nothing about the complex dynamics of our economy, let alone the world's.>thus, my opinion on economic policy is worth less than an empty bag of chips.>More so, realize all of my friends' opinions are just noise and not worth listening toThe economy is a really interesting topic to me, because I'm into economic pragmatism: I don't care if an economic policy comes from the right or left, what I care is if it works in practice and helps my country develop further.How do I truly learn how the economy works, market-bros? Do I have to read some books in particular? Or should I give up?
>>62593319>empty bag of chipstheyre called crisps. because they are crispy. only gay americans call crisps chips. you dont want to be gay do you
>>62593319>casually learning economicswhat does this meanyou watched some youtube videos from crash course of some shit. or did you actually work through mankiw principles textbooks
>>62593319I can't tell you much about what approach to economics is the most useful because it is such a homosexual field; a man-made system too complex to be entirely understood by a single human. It's not entirely philosophy in which you get to ask the interesting questions, it's not the sciences that grant you some minuscle glimpses of truth. No, it's fake, gay and despite all the billions of papers and analysis tools, it still seems like a chaotic system>>62593341I can't disagree that crisps would make more sense, but the rest of the world calls it chips, nigel.
>>62593369Basically yes. Also read the news, interviews, podcasts and started reading a book. I think I have some notion of the key distinct features a developed economy has compared to a developing one, but I'm not really sure anymore.>mankiw principles textbooksAre they good enough for a casual like me?>>62593402>it still seems like a chaotic systemDamn. Still, have economists figured out development economics?
>>62593319Don't worry Anon, bags of chips are always half-empty anyways.
>>62593319>>More so, realize all of my friends' opinions are just noise and not worth listening toThere is one and only one thing you need to know about the economy, to know about the economy. The demand-supply curve.
