This is a fascinating thread, with a lot of really good contributions all round.
I was particularly interested to read CatcusCat's analysis of the relevant economics.
I was wondering if anyone knew of any good resources to go from rank beginner, through to adept, for economic theory. Or any sites that are good at analysing what currently is compared to what should be? I'd like to think I have a pretty firm grasp on the basics, but I've never done any kind of formal studying of economics, and the jargon can be a barrier, as is no doubt the intention.
I second this. I'll be starting a degree in Economics and Finance in the fall and wouldn't mind getting a head start. Again I have some basics but if anybody has any quality resources to share it would be much appreciated.
And of course, fantastic thread. I need to go back and reread again. I'm actually on board with many of your comparisons Aer. I've tried focuses entirely on my own pursuits and trying to block out all the culture collapse kind of stuff but I think it's becoming increasingly difficult to ignore, at least for me, it's definitely creeping into my everyday life more and more as time goes on. I don't think I like where it's headed.
