A quick little video update from Yale, in which I am “shopping” to choose just 2 courses from the mind-boggling 2,000 courses on offer.
In the video I mention our upcoming seminar on identity. I have written a blog describing some of my initial thoughts, which I will publish tomorrow. I would very much appreciate it if you would come back to me with your comments, to help me develop my ideas on the subject.
Economics, definitely. Whatever you decide to do after Yale will involve costs to people, directly or indirectly and it’s essential to understand the effects of those costs.
I’m a huge fan of Robert Shiller, of Yale’s econ department. He seems to both have an interest in economics but also how capital markets can be used as a force for good (latest book “Finance and the Good Society”, which you can read the overview of on amazon).
That being said, I’m also a huge fan of economics / finance in general, being a financial analyst – so I’d hate to steer you towards something that fascinates me but bores others.
Robert will be a special guest speaker at one of our World Fellows’ seminars later this semester. Very much looking forward to it. Aren’t we lucky?!
I vote for skipping the inorganic chemistry classes. Cheers
