This series fascinates me because it combines some excellent writing with really primitive illustration.

The history of macroeconomics is mostly one of failed theories. Some principles are quite clear, but, in general, the complexity of a national economic system is overwhelming, and has thwarted attempts to find simple approximations of much use. All the famous modern economists are macroeconomists, but the vast majority of economists hate that stuff, and focus on some area of microeconomics.

Pls, don't touch Minamo. Let her focus her things
And pls don't hate me commenting like this
It is out of place and ruins the mood, reading a romance yuri manga and hoping to not have yuri or romance is one way to ruin the experience... And I don't get how love would get in the one of someone's things, we would all be doomed if we were all about studies and work.

Ah Im taking two econ courses rn. History of economics and macroeconomics. Research project is on the concept of public goods while macroeconomics is being a bitch because I don't even have a textbook or notes to study, it's just copy what the teacher says in class.

Considering how much the concept of public good is invoked without its evolution being noticed, that research project seems worthwhile.

A way to survive a macro course like that is to determine what the instructor regards as the overall framework within which to think about the subject. (Sometimes a student needs to ask, straight-up, for the instructor to verbally or diagrammatically sketch the framework.) Then fit the parts of the lectures into that framework.

But, again, macroeconomics is a mostly a mess. You won't find a nice body of accepted, coherent theory. On top of the challenges of complexity (with individual agents being persons rather than the mindless particles of, say, statistical mechanics), macroeconomic has policy implications so that research is skewed by political ideology.

Ah I am specifically doing evolution of the concept of public goods. And yes, this is a research project for the entire term.

For macro I find that test questions are really similar to practise questions the tas hand out. Only problem is that the answers are explained in class and I'm really bad with fine details (hence typos in my translations). We be doing I think something about exports and savings for now

I'll be honest, I'm lost lol. I think I need to re-read this whole series when it's progressed more or just finished.

Honestly same.
It's a very nice series the writing feels a little amateurish to me with the amount of text where sometimes a lot of it could be cut out :boomer:. But it's sort of balanced out with it's slow pacing.

Yay Yurika is finally back lol
Sure, theres plenty of fleshier drawings out there but this story is so well written that is always a joy. How well the characters were planned or how theres barely no pointless conversations. The progress might not be so fast but is always steady and it always has something to keep u interested.
