Yep, it is that MIT Professor who thinks all of us out here in the real world are so stupid...Now he wants to teach us economics!
He tells us:
I’m excited to announce the launch of a new course on edX that covers Introductory Microeconomics.
I’ve wanted to do a course like this for years. I have always found
economics provides a terrific way to think about the world. Economics
principles explain so much of what drives our everyday life: how people
decide which goods to buy and how to spend their time; how firms set
prices and hire workers, and whether the outcomes of markets are fair
and efficient. These economics principles were inspirational to me when I first
learned them as an undergraduate. I have gone on to apply to them to a
set of topics I am passionate about, both as a Professor at MIT and as a
policy expert for both state and local governments. Whether in the
classroom, in Washington D.C., or in state capitals, I have found that
basic economic principles never lead me wrong in terms of explaining
important aspects of the world.
But wait, I thought we were beyond the pale, uneducateable, devoid of any intellectual merit. I guess it is like all those Shark movies, a shark can attack in any form, Zombie Shark anyone!
