...not.

There is no GR to understand in economics, either. Keynes' theory is very rish but I don't think it has been comprehensively mathematised, and it's not like Keynes thought it was necessary either.

The economics students are generally learning shit until they at least get into the intermediate-level coursework.  But even at the graduate level, they're just reading textbooks with a bunch of mathematical models.  If you want to learn real economics, then, in my view, you've got to read Smith, Keynes, Friedman (the economist, not the political commentator), etc.  Most of the economists these days are just goofing around with interpretations of the work of these people.

Paul Krugman is a notable exception among the younger economists, as someone who, in my opinion, is razor-sharp on the intuition and on the strengths and weaknesses of the mathematics.  Same goes for Stiglitz and DeLong.
