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
