The masochism is pretty funny. I mean, everyone has thought this to themselves once in a while (oh my god it's finals and i have no idea how to study and why oh why did i come here). But in the end, I love the place anyway, so it must have been a good choice. Some people just don't see the humor, I guess.

supply and demand curves "accurately" describe employment, esp. in a country with a more liberalized market? It's actually at least a bit more complex, if not far more so. Or how about Pareto "efficiency"? WHO is 'qualified' to determine what "efficient" ultimately means or describes, in the end? How do we know that Pareto efficiency even REMOTELY describes reality? Or how about the ol' Edgeworth Box? These things are all pretty goofy, now that I think about it.

It assumes that students are "Too dumb" to REALLY understand or wrap their heads around economics, so we have to DUMB IT DOWN to such a degree that the models HAVE ALMOST NO RELATION TO THE REAL WORLD and make economics sound like an exercise in pointless theorizing, rather than a field that ACTUALLY uses real-world facts to study the markets.

I love economics, and while I'll admit that U. of Chicago DOES seem to have a 'brilliant' faculty (historically speaking) in that dept... let's face facts. Most of them are neoclassical, libertarian stooges who spew market-fundamentalist nonsense and put individuals and their experiences dead last when it comes to REAL economics study. The type who LOOOVE the "free market" and think it's GOD, essentially. Milton Friedman, F.A. Hayek, George Stigler, you name it

Models CAN serve as a stepping stone, but if they have NO REAL EVIDENCE to back them up... fuck them, in the end. They're more or less pointless. Of course, many professors and economists will rebut what I have said by claiming, "Well, these models are supposed to just help folks UNDERSTAND in a simple manner how it all works." And to an extent, MAYBE that makes sense... But what if the models are TOO SIMPLE to even describe REMOTELY the 'real world'?? What then? How does a set of

Even the most 'respect' econ journals are FULL of these kinds of articles (the theoretical, non-empirical kind) and oftentimes SHORT on ones with actual empirical evidence and emphasis on data and regression, among other essentials. In a way, this makes me GLAD I DIDN'T major in Econ, but , then again, I would have LOVED to help 'revolutionize' econ as being the FIRST major economist to place TRUE emphasis on empirics, not just theoretical, model-based crap with logic only.

I mean... where ELSE are models prized to such a degree? WHICH social science does this BUT the "dismal science" economics? You know WHY it's called a "dismal science"? BECAUSE SO MANY ECONOMISTS DON'T TAKE IT SERIOUSLY ENOUGH TO MAKE IT A SCIENCE! To REALLY try to find good, hard empirical tools that HELP determine "proper" study No science is perfect, but even, say, anthropology have a lot of empirical backing because STUDY is key. Models are too often "key" in econ., sadly
