Bad news, I’m afraid. I will have to retake microeconomics again next quarter in order to graduate. In other news, the next book coming up has been slow going, so the review will take another day or two. Any good stories out there about economics?

So it may be a… Continue reading Open Thread: Water Damage

Time for the monthly recommendation of other blogs! I went to the Bloggers’ group meeting at Joule again.
