That guy is good.

Also reminds me of my high-school economics classes. I got really good grades for the first 6 months or so until I realized it was all crap and my grades fell. I remember my teacher was pissed. Pretty sure I told him I thought their theories were crap.

He did tell a joke I remember though.

A Physicist, a Chemist and an Economist are shipwrecked on a desert island and they find a a can of beans in the water but they've got no way to open them. The Physicist says "lets make a fire, throw the can in, and it'll rupture with the heat and we can eat the beans". The Chemist says "No, no. Lets use the salt water to corrode the can and get the beans that way". The Economist says "You're both morons! Lets assume we have a can opener!".

(Economists make lots of useless assumptions--that's the joke).

I had an econ prof in grad school who had a sign in his office I'll always remember. And when I say "remember," I mean not actually apply to my life, just keep in memory.
