The Adventures of Andrew Maurer

View from 10th floor of Buchanon Tower (Economics Floor)

Another amazing Peter’s class this morning. It’s like I’m learning basic microeconomics all over again but from a very broad perspective. As little as possible is assumed we make factual statements based on observed behaviour. This is in contrast to a typical microeconomics course, where a model is forced in at the beginning and we are told to believe blindly and not ask questions. Peter’s is more mathematical, while  being more general. Today was an introduction to markets. (Though we assumed markets to not exist. All that was shown was that given two individuals, each with a unique amount of two goods, there almost always exists benefits from trade between them.)

It was another Siegel’s day today, and I got 10 everything bagels and 2 rosemary and rocksalt. My goal is for the dozen to last me two weeks. We’ll see.
