Basically, you get a full year’s Ec survey in one semester, but with a liberal twist. That’s a lot of ground to cover, but enrollees say it’s worth the work, and you get to hear Marglin point out why Mankiw and the rest of his conservative colleagues are full of it. In this course, you can keep it real?...
