Years after I graduated from college, I questioned the econ taught in school and realized how outdated they are. The program at San Francisco doesn't seem to be as bad as some of the stories I'm hearing now, but the underlying theme wasn't about providing well-being for the people. We learned about Monetarist and Keynesian economics, but the textbooks were influenced by Milton Friedman's neoliberal hell.

A few years ago, I took a spatial econ course for an urban enviro program that covered the environment, natural resources, and people's needs. During this class, I realized how ridiculous it was that these topics weren't embedded in every econ course/program.

One of the biggest issues with today's economics is it doesn't include the input of sociologists. The American sociologist Herbert Gintis provides some solutions for this issue. I stumbled upon him on a podcast on Spotify; Sean Carroll's Mindscape.

Thanks!
