I am taking my first (ever) class in economics in this quarter at UCSC Extensions. And for the first time, the world makes perfect sense to me through the eyes of economics and math. And this is the only time where math has ever made any sense to me outside of the realms of daily application.
The best way to describe my experience is Jonathan Goldstein’s description of Eve’s experience with her first “nibble” of the Fruit of Wisdom… “It’s like trying on a pair of new glasses for the first time…” An experience that is both dizzying and exonerating.
Sweet. Maybe I will take the next class in macroeconomics!
