Yet again I order the *most* exciting books from Amazon:

2. I'm like an Econ Geek to the Nth power...

3. Teasing aside, the first one DOES sound interesting....

...even to this non-econ type person.

[bicentennial_baby]

4. Yeah, it ties right into my thesis as well

It's about the transformation of Economic theory and practice from the 150 yr old neo-classical theory to a more experimental approach that incorporates psychology, sociology, etc.

I'm not the worst nerd...At least I'm not into Neuroeconomics...That shit is hardcore. :P

Wait for it...



















Where Mathematics Comes From: How the embodied mind brings mathematics into being.



















I know, I am super exciting...

6. Oooh, that sounds really good actually

Tell me how it is!

Last week I got this delivered:

Fundamental Methods of Mathematical Economics

When I was talking to my Econometrics Prof about it, she shuddered. She knows the book well :rofl:
