Excerpt

On Welfare Economics in the Principles Course. N. Gregory Mankiw, 2016, Paper, "I much enjoyed reading these articles by Steve Schmidt and Jonathan B. Wight on the normative underpinnings of how we teach introductory economics. I have long believed that teaching the fundamentals of economics to the next generation of voters is among the highest callings of our profession. It is therefore useful to regularly reflect on whether we are doing it well and how we might do it better." Link
