    Economics 101, at least as it is commonly taught, does tremendous damage.https://twitter.com/chrislhayes/status/839258500177997824 …

    it is *amazing* to me how much conservative language about healthcare economics has to do with recycling first-year micro bromides.

        It's like people can't get that the simplified models taught aren't really reflected in the real world, hence continued research!

        All I learned from intro to macro-econ is that the world doesn't function according to those models.

        Back when I took Econ 101, they explained that the "True Free Market" was an idealized model not applicable to real life. : /

        But still, the whole curriculum embeds that in impressionable brains as the base case. It all pivots off that.

        @chrislhayes Micro and macro economics classes also tend to be taught by very different professors!

        hey, I started in engineering as an undergraduate, but I don't claim I can build a safe bridge. This isn't econ's fault.

        Is this how it's commonly taught? When I took intro to econ they definitely covered market failures a fair amount.

        Maybe it feels more like "pop econ" than actual "econ 101".
