studied under God of Financial Economics modigliani at mit but was a critic of efficient market theory, prophet of us housing bubble/collapse. feel like disciplinary critique is best when it's coming from someone really entrenched in the theory & intellectual foundations of the discipline rather than people who are like "lol u assume ppl are rational." i'm tempted to take it w yall tho things are really picking up in my classes

wait - didn't we say we might do a couple at once? can't we do the euro one too?
― will eat pudding (ENBB), Thursday, 29 September 2011 23:20 (twelve years ago) link
maybe. when/where do we start this? and how? i'm okay w/ spinning this off onto some barely-used board (or creating a new one?), so that it won't clutter up the main board and we can keep a few different streams contained.

so when does this start?
― sarahel, Friday, 30 September 2011 01:15 (twelve years ago) link
So we ... start ILL as a board
• Create a master thread for each class?• Create a weekly thread for each class, assuming we all agree on one (or two) lectures/week?
What are the two classes we'd like to do? The top two?
― remy bean, Friday, 30 September 2011 01:20 (twelve years ago) link
seems to me a weekly thread with two lectures a week would be a+
― thank you BIG HOOS, you brilliant god-man (BIG HOOS aka the steendriver), Friday, 30 September 2011 01:27 (twelve years ago) link
top two or three would probably suffice. maybe two for now?
― markers, Friday, 30 September 2011 01:28 (twelve years ago) link
two seems good
I will run financial markets, who wants to step up for euro civ? 'running it' just means 'make sure to post the lecture once a week at given time' but that still is a commitment of sorts.
― iatee, Friday, 30 September 2011 01:41 (twelve years ago) link
I'll do for sure.
― remy bean, Friday, 30 September 2011 02:11 (twelve years ago) link
any nods for 2nd and 3rd mods?
― remy bean, Friday, 30 September 2011 02:13 (twelve years ago) link
do we really need em? considering it's gonna be like 2 threads atm
― iatee, Friday, 30 September 2011 02:20 (twelve years ago) link
maybe just add em when someone wants to start a new course
fair fair, was just thinking we are both EST

will do this! just currently have a helluva stack to get thronow it's worth it though :)
― thank you BIG HOOS, you brilliant god-man (BIG HOOS aka the steendriver), Friday, 30 September 2011 04:37 (twelve years ago) link
so there are 26 lectures for financial markets and 28 for euro civ, so presumably they'll be twice a week?
maybe m-w one of them and tu-th the other?
― iatee, Friday, 30 September 2011 04:38 (twelve years ago) link
wow that was supposed to say "helluva stack to get through, good to know it's worth it though"

no *promises*
but my gf is a grad student at a place w/ all the reading material for financial markets and the library has a scanner. it is possible I can sneak in and if it doesn't take too long, could prob get most of the reading digital? while she's busy doing her grad school thing. soonest this would be would be like, the friday after next. and I'd need enough people to be 100% in it.

looks like that doesn't exist anymore, but it's an interesting idea...kinda amazing it didn't happen sooner
