Hmm is anyone else experiencing problems with the

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Comment on A Non-Euclidean World by Gregory Moss

Economics involves the study of choice. Our facts involve the behaviour of animals that vary significantly in terms of preferences, etc. but more importantly from a philosophical point of view, struggle to know what is really in their interests beyond the satisfaction of basic needs involving physiological and psychological states.

I submit that what should be the key concern for today’s aspiring economists is an insistence to be useful to real decision-makers in the markets – to get out in the field and get dirty, ruthlessly pursue opportunities to chew through operational data, bang out models and linear programs like they were going out of fashion, participate and transform business activity.

We have everything we could possibly need or want thanks to the giants of the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. If the theory depends on rational behaviour of firms, then demonstrate to business leaders how to be rational. If you are concerned about the injustice inherent in an economic system, get involved in the fight to change it.

It is high time that economists make themselves indispensable to the real decision-makers in the economies they wish to impact. The decision to employ, to invest, to pay dividends, to purchase new capital, to enter new markets, etc. are made by business managers, not professors or policy pundits. That is the source of economic growth, and economists are ideally equipped to help them.

Sorry mini talking frosted wheat guy; there are print
books and online resources that were very helpful in my
quest for tasty, easy paleo recipes. And to be sure,
some foods are worse — a lot worse — for us than others, but most types contain them to some degree.
Don’t avoid the fatty meats, the thicker blood of A lacks that ancient enzyme that blood type O.

Comment on In which I “attack old-fashioned economics,” i.e. utility maximization by Camie Milanes

our Mental Energy Sphere is his latest work, and could qualify as a novelette – in that it is less than 20,000 words. Yet, to fully make use of this self-help guide, readers must allow space and time to contemplate what he is saying. Readers will benefit by reading this book slowly, at times when there are no distractions. Each sentence is valuable – no word is wasted, here. Using realistic tools such as deep introspection, evaluation and deduction, Shyam coaxes individuals to find their true happiness. Though Shyam provides the tools, he makes it clear that readers will have to take the steps that will ensure their own satisfaction in life.*

Comment on Young People Tired of Old Economic Models by Frank Witte

I am all for variety of approaches taught in a curriculum. What surprises me however is that I think I read more critical voices about the over-abundence of neo-classical economics than I see students actually attending classes in which really new ideas are discussed? I see more people calling upon others to be sustainable then I see people willing to do the hard work to make things sustainable.

Comment on Toxic Textbooks by Robert Searle

Why not stop wasting time by blacklisting anybody, or anything. Why not come up with something positive, and constructive such as my evolving project on Transfinancial Economics?

Why stop at blacklisting autistic people? Now that Obama has the authority to conduct drone strikes on U.S. soil, we have the perfect vehicle for eliminating the authors of toxic textbooks. Just Google “axiomatic economics” to locate any economists who are using the axiomatic method and Obama will take them out!

Blatant neoliberal propaganda based on neoclassical nonsense.
