Default Re: What exactly do they teach in college economics?

They teach you a whole lot of so-simplified-it's-wrong material, to get you familiar with the concepts. The second half of the degree was spent on much more specific econ topics, a lot of quant analysis, and in large part - correcting the first half of the degree. I'm not surprised at all when I run into an econ major who has the page 30 <u>Intro to Econ</u> view on a number of theories.
