My name is Mark Biernat this site is about Economics as it affects your life. I am also a fourth-year Ph.D. student in Economics (my thesis is on the Natural Rate of Interest and Money Macro Equilibrium).

On this I stress Classic Economic ideas. Ideas from the great minds of the past, often have been neglected or misunderstood.

A common fallacy is that ‘people ‘back then did not know as much as people today. I would argue in today’s time we have been distracted by the constant flow of information, and have lost the insights from a time when reflection on the ideas of Political Economy was both subtle and powerful.

• Great Knowledge is often forgotten. I want to make sure that does not happen.

Specifically, I provide the words and books of:

• Adam Smith
• Karl Marx
• Knut Wicksell
• Ludwig Von Mises
• John Maynard Keynes
• F. A. Hayek

• Great minds as these economists come around only once every 100 years or so.

On this site, I have a collection of free economics books for you to download. These are classics from the history of economics.

I also have personal commentary on Politics and Economics that you will find interesting. These are not academic articles that have been peer-reviewed, more for fun, but no less relevant.
