Principles of economics, translated


 
   

"Mankiw's 10 principles of economics, translated for the uninitiated", by Yoram Bauman, http://www.standupeconomist.co... '>http://www.standupeconomist.co... . Presented at the AAAS humor session, February 16, 2007. For the record, the talk contains two unattributed quotes ("9 out of 5" is adapted from a line attributed to Paul Samuelson---although apparently he said it about Wall Street indices, not macroeconomists---and "wrong about things" is paraphrased from P.J. O'Rourke's Eat the Rich) and, of course, the Einstein "simple" quote is an intentional misquote. The talk is based on a published article in Annals of Improbable Research (see http://www.improb.com/airchive... ), which sponsored my talk and to which you should subscribe ( http://improb.com/subscribe/ ). In the paper you can see the "constructive example" of how trade can make everyone worse off (or you can just wait 50 years to see what happens with climate change).

I think you're going to enjoy it. Its the best course in the business administration. says my marketing teacher. Anyhoo, I'm not just saying that cause its what I'm takin' I didn't even know what Eco was until I went to college and I'm glad I took it. Most eco majors are successful.
