Posting on Economics

I suspect my posts on economics are the least valuable posts I do.

Personal material -- including my experiences with unemployment -- is useful, because personal material is always important. That's what makes history: the diaries of farm wives, the letters back home to the old country.

What I write about writing and science fiction has some use, because I'm a science fiction writer.

While I am clearly interested in economics, I am not an expert. Why do I write about it? I'm trying to understand it. I'm not alone. The Internet is full of people who are trying to understand the world economy, because it is twisting their lives into knots.
