Ok so I found pictures of my 16 page Heterodox Economics midterm that I aced back in college.

Basically I had to part by part recreate Pierro Sraffa& #39;s system, and mathematically break down each step. Grueling work and I& #39;m fairly certain I was the only one in the class to do it
The beauty of this whole thing is that I ended up creating a sort of heuristic to speed up the calculation process, that my professor didn& #39;t even know you could do, and I got to use it for the final
Besides Game Theory or my final project (an econometrics project on the effect of the tariff war on China& #39;s "Made in China" initiative)

this was one of my hardest classes I had to do, and I& #39;ve always been proud of this
I had to turn my paper back in and thought I had lost these pictures ages ago, but I managed to dig them up... on accident, and thought I& #39;d share my old economics mania
also whenever some idiot tells me to "read theory" I& #39;ll probably just link back to this thread
this is also why I have some sympathy for the old production table socialist models of the early 20th century that tried to fix Marx& #39;s system after Bohm-Bawerk& #39;s work

it was the longform approach that tried to conquer General Equilibrium, before they even had defined GE!
of course... it didn& #39;t work and the Soviet attempt at trying central planning with such mechanisms also went very awry, but there& #39;s something inherent in the analytical breakdown that many tried, that I have deep respect for
meanwhile I somehow managed to lose my senior project on china, i think i still have the R-readout results somewhere, but ultimately the analysis was shit because China has terrible data collection practices
meanwhile much of my Chinese Economy info on military/industrial expansion somehow survived!

which makes no sense because that class was even several years further removed
riveting stuff i know
also almost all this data ends around 2016-2018, i really haven& #39;t been keeping track of how china has been doing on the data-end for 3-5 years now

just got lazy after university ended i guess
