Economics 101 - Homework
Upon my arrival to class today, I was holding the Time Magazine I had received in the mail this morning. I sat down and flipped through a few pages, and as I did, my professor inquired if there was “anything relevant to the class in there.” I said maybe, and that I hadn’t really looked at it yet. He then asked, “what is that, People magazine?” to which I replied,...

Conversation I Actually Had with My Mother When I...
Me: Hey, I bought new sneakers!
Mom: That's great. What kind?
Me: Well, I got a pair of little kids shoes because I fit in them.
Mom: Good, your shoes from now on will be cheaper.
Me: Not if they light up!
Mom: No you did not.

Conversation I Am Expecting to Have with My Mother...
Me: I bought new sneakers. Did you know that if you're a women's size 6.5 you can fit into little kids size threes?
Mom: No, but that's good. They'll be cheaper.
Me: Not if they light up!
Mom: No you did not.

Blame it on the Dog.
My dad told me this joke when I called him earlier:
Jim is at dinner with his new girlfriend and her family. About halfway through the meal, he has to fart. He leans over onto one ass-cheek and squeaks one out. The father looks at the dog and says, “Rusty! Come here!” Good, He thinks, they think the dog did it. I’m in the clear. He squeaks another one out, and the father looks...

Economics 101 - National/Personal Debt
In class Wednesday, my Professor went on a rant about how most Americans are in debt up to their eyeballs without a plan to get rid of personal debt.
We’re a country of people with no way out. Does our government reflect that? Does all that national debt reflect the fact that we’re a nation of shopaholics who consume, consume, consume with little thought about the impact we’re...

Economics 101 - Natural Law
Today, my professor was discussing the neoclassical, natural law version of the supply/demand model in comparison to the heterodox, socially influenced one. He was criticizing the naturalization of a man-made and man-regulated economy when he said that we should all be wary of anything in the news justified because it is “natural.”
The first thing that came to mind was the argument...

Economics 101
Yesterday, in my economics class, this guy started arguing that people have an intrinsic need to want. That people are born wanting to do nothing more than consume. In this way, advertising and other influences from the media do nothing to make a person want something more. They just want it. The professor started arguing with him, asking the student how long advertising has been around. Turns out...
