RE: Venezuela announced that it plans/hopes to launch a new cryptocurrency named “The Petro”.
I def forget sometimes that economists aren’t in a “book field.” I’m in American Studies, and economic intellectual history is one of my favorite things to learn about. nice meeting ya, doc!
Some are! I definitely don't want to leave you with the impression that all economists are the same as I am. Economics is a wonderfully strange field so it's always tricky to infer that you've met a stereotypical economist.
I'm definitely on the math/data/computational side of the spectrum, but Econ History or Econ Philosophy folks are solidly on the book side.
And it's the technical stuff with which I'm most unfamiliar—b/c, you know, I'm not an economist. ;) Anyhow, I'll definitely be posting along the intellectual history side a lot here, so—like a shy undergrad in office hours—might I ask for a follow? I'd love some additional accountability to the facts from you! Sort of a peer review, but peer-to-peer on the blockchain.
My apologies!! I honestly thought I followed you before I typed my response. Thanks for catching that. Now I will go back and check that everyone I intended to follow is, in fact, being followed.
Thanks!
I’d upvote this, but I’m recharging my voting power (I get why this is a thing in the steem economy, but lord that sounds absurd to me, still). In lieu of a few cents (USD), here’s an emoji promissory note on upvotes to come: 👨💻
