Thanks for these diaries, Jake.  You are (almost) succeeding in making this econo-illiterate think he can understand economics - and moreover introducing variables which I always intuitively felt were missing from economics and which prevented me from studying economics in college in the first place.  Do I feel the bones of a thesis/book being formed here?

For now, I'm going to continue taking the models apart and putting them back together again with resource constraints included and without the most hysterically silly assumptions about small, independent, rational actors with perfectly symmetrical information.

If we ever have enough to publish an anthology, I'm certainly game. But just having an online bank of de- and re-constructed models will work too.

If you only spend 20 minutes of the rest of your life on economics, go spend them here.
