Reply #42: Implicit pre-requisite

[mrbluto]

It appears there was an implicit pre-requisite for the class: logic.

Ideally it would go without saying that those who wish to study economics should have some logic under their belts, but it's almost as if the opposite is the case.

That actually reminds me of a line from Krugman's thesis which was about trade in space. If I recall correctly he said something along the lines of "As opposed to some other economists I've taken some ridiculous assumptions and supported some concrete facts about economics, rather than start with some concrete facts and support ridiculous assumptions."

In a way I wish you hadn't mentioned school - because it reminds me I should be doing my assignments due next week.

Alas!
