Today, I saw Michael Moore’s new movie, Capitalism: A Love Story and thought that I, as both a graduate student in Economics who is getting experience in the field during the great financial crisis. As a movie, it was pretty entertaining, as his movies tend to be, full of rhetorical flair, tear-jerking moments of people [...]
What’s the Matter with Atheists?
The semester’s winding down, and Graduation is in 3 days. Needless to say, I haven’t had much time for writing non-school-related things (like this blog). I’ll be able to write more over the summer.

These [...]
