economics publications « Thread Started on Jul 23, 2009, 10:25pm »
Hello Everyone, My name is Robert Stanford as a person who has an academic background, an MS in economics and I am considering returning to school for a PHD, and has also taught introductory level college economics course; the level of economic literacy and knowledge that the general public has is an issue that is a major concern to me. I am disappointed in the way that the media in general covers economics issues. Most news stories seem to be written by people with little or no background in economics and tend to either ignore the economic side of many issues, give bad information, or take economics ideas out of context. Most academic writing are to technical for the general public to easily access and understand. For this reason I think that there is a need for a popular style journal or publication that would cover current issues using serious economic analysis but written in a way that makes it easily accessible to the general public. This publication would be written in way that is non-ideological and open to people from various economic schools of thought, New Classical, Austrian, Keynesian, New Keynesian, ect. I would love to get feedback or suggestion from people with a background in economics about this idea. So if you have any feedback on this idea or would like to help me out with it, feel free to email me at: populareconomiccs@hotmail.com
