Time for a Rethink
What is Economics and What is an Economist!
N.B.This photo is via the University of Minnesota, College of Food, Agricultural and Natural Resource Sciences, describing and promoting the Study of Applied Economics to all potential students who are 'Seekers, Doers, Makers and Dreamers' - ‘The Applied Economics major is designed to give you a solid foundation in economics and how it is applied in the real world to improve people’s lives. You will develop strong critical thinking skills, data analysis proficiency, and the ability to communicate your ideas in writing…’- Applied Economics (There you have it: A Professor of Economics imparting Wisdom to the Seekers, Doers, Makers and Dreamers!!)
“The point of studying economics is so as not to be fooled by economists.”- Joan Robinson (1903–1983)
As Robinson with prophetic words and a lesson that to my mind resonates in today’s turbulent and unequal economy and society has reminded us: ‘the task of the economist is to combat the idea that the only values that count are those that can be measured in terms of money.’
