Economy 99
by Economy 99
With Economy 99 my aim is to bring ideas forward on wealth inequality and the economic factors behind it. Discuss how efficiency models create a lack of robustness. And spend some time demystifying some of the statistics and numbers used to describe the economy that may be failing the average person, or not telling the whole story. I hope you learn something, and enjoy the ride.
