Marin Fredrickson Question 5

 What line caught my attention the most was right away in the early part of the introduction was when college students would walk out of their Economics 101 class and "wave goodbye to the subject forever." Even before I turned the page I though yeah right. This may have jumped out to me so much because in class we covered that economics will catch up with you in the long run. That memorizing the quadratic formula will only be able to help me solve for "x", while economics will help in the the game of life and know when I am being cheated on or how to avoid being evicted from my home. As I continued reading the introduction, the author would make references or show examples of poor economic thinking, my mind would go back to that line, "wave goodbye to the subject forever." Ha. The French govenment in 2000 should have probably rethought that one instead of quitting their econmomics 101 class.
