ECONOMICS FOR REAL PEOPLE: Desert Island Economics

Here’s the note on this week’s discussion from our friends at the Auckland Uni Economics Group:

What is this man missing that all of us enjoy every day without noticing?

What does a sixteenth-century Scotsman have to say to a modern-day Peruvian hill tribe?

What does that hill tribe have to teach today’s economists and epistemologists?

And how do the answers to these questions provide the foundation for the whole field of economics?

All these questions and more will be asked and answered tomorrow night at the Auckland Uni Economics Group weekly discussion….

WHEN: Thursday 21 March at 6pm
WHERE: Case Room 3, Level 0, University of Auckland Business School, Grafton Rd

All welcome!

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
