Raj Chetty’s plan to change how Harvard teaches economics.

This would be a huge improvement, especially if other schools follow this lead. I’ve read that Mankiw textbook cover to cover (know the enemy) and it’s a huge trashpile of wishful thinking, outright lies, unproven assertions and asinine asseverations. Nearly anything would be a step up — in fact, all that book is good for is using as a tool be able to step up a little higher to reach something.

Don’t forget, I endure these things so you don’t have to.
