Economics! Hurray!

Sorry for the lack of posts recently. The end of the semester is here, and I'm waist deep in economics tests, papers about the election, papers about post-colonial West Africa, and the like.
This is perhaps old news, but if you haven't heard This American Life's two episodes on the economic crisis they are more than worth your time:
The Giant Pool of Money
Another Frightening Show About the Economy

I hope your papers on the election underscore just how unimportant this presidential election really was, and how put off you are by it. :)

Jon- I think you get it. The papers are a waste of time. I am deep in them. Don't be so obtuse.
Nick- I'm not put off by the election, but rather by people with no sense of history. Not you specifically, just you know, people.

I am bored just thinking about clicking those links.

Wow, it's a shame about you being uninterested in things that have such tremendous impact on your day to day life and which these links would explain so clearly for you.
