I took a few college classes, one in general/micro economics, the other was political geography, which showed how different politics and religions effected the economies of differing regions around the globe. Very interesting.

As for me, I’ve taken micro and macro as part of my MBA program, so technically I’ve taken graduate level although I can’t imagine we got more in depth than an undergrad class. Probably covered more at a higher level I’d imagine.

There are lots of intelligent people with lots of polar opposite ideas about what to do with the economy right now. I’m not trying to prove right or wrong (as I have little faith in economics as a “science” anyway). I’m just looking for patterns, like maybe formal education on economics sways you towards Keynsian or something like that.
