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's system, and mathematically break down each step. Grueling work and I'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'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's "Made in China" initiative)
this was one of my hardest classes I had to do, and I'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'd share my old economics mania
also whenever some idiot tells me to "read theory" I'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's system after Bohm-Bawerk's work
it was the longform approach that tried to conquer General Equilibrium, before they even had defined GE!

of course... it didn't work and the Soviet attempt at trying central planning with such mechanisms also went very awry, but there'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'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
