"Want to watch me butcher some facts and oversimplify world history to fit within my political bias? That would be $ 435 for you."

I am not happy with my history class as you might have guessed from the title of my post.

So he's a history professor and not an economics professor. Sure, I realize that. But why does he explain an economic concept at all if he gets the most basic fact about it wrong? Comparative advantage is not a hard concept. Pretty much the only way to get it wrong is to confuse it with absolute advantage. Which he did, and so do 130 other students now.

This is followed by a very confident complete mispronounciation and mistranslation of a German term, which he repeated several times, just in case somebody hadn't picked up this particular one of his mistakes yet.

Last but not least, he shook the solution for world poverty right out of the frayed sleeve of this tweed jacket: it's the tariffs' fault.

The tariffs! It's all so clear to me now.
