Around April 10 of my Senior year of high school, I donned a Mount Holyoke sweatshirt and went to school. I had just decided that I would attend college there, and my excitement was visible. Being an East Coast school, and relatively unknown to many of my classmates, no one really shared my excitement other than my two closest friends. I walked into my AP US History class and sat down.

  • Why Economics Still Matter

     

    By now you have probably heard about the infamous Excel coding error in Reinhart & Rogoff’s working paper that argued for austerity when a country’s debt as a percentage of GDP reaches 90 percent.
