Econ Club: It's about logic, not emotion.

Under the guise of Econ Club, I have sat in many of bars alongside peers and professors, attempting to solve the world’s problems with economic logic. Couched primarily in economic topics, attendees are encouraged to be blunt, using logic not opinion to discuss current events. It is because of the success of these meetings and encouragement from past participants that I am moving Econ Club into blog form. As such, post articles, comment on them and of course keep a refreshing beer nearby.
