Re: I've read lots of Econ books
I had an economics class in college, where the head lecturer was Walter Heller, who worked for JFK. The problem with academic economics is that you get your head filled with things like M1 and M2, which is okay, but many of the most basic concepts are largely overlooked. Or ignored.
At bottom, economics is a chaotic system, and modern economics seems to be largely concerned with "steering" a chaotic system. It's like micromanaging a rain forest.
