Scott Walker - America's answer to Stephen Harper?

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

At top 10-15 US schools, undergrad econ is usually considered an equivalent to engineering, physical science, comp sci, and math because there is a very high degree of quantitative emphasis according to Wall Street Oasis.

I know at least one Ivy League school has a two-track major in Economics: Economics with calculus for future economists and quants; economics without calculus for people heading into investment banking or consulting who aren't up for the math and just need a general ground in how economies work.

Columbia, right? I know they do Financial Economics or something. I've heard it's only slightly easier due to like 2-3 upper level classes, but yeah that was the point I was going for.

That would be news to me. All Econ here has calculus.

For the theories, I don't doubt it, but I heard for upper level electives, the difference between the 2 majors is often Corporate Finance and Financial Econ vs. Pretty mathematically heavy stuff.

Uh, no.  There is no comparison.  Unlike Scott Walker, Stephen Harper has brains -love him or hate him, you have to give him that.

That's what comparing apples to oranges means.  It means you can't compare them.  They're different.

And like I said previously, Stephen Harper is brilliant.

I do not consider Walker to be brilliant.

HW was not corrupt.

Barbara would never have let him.

Michael Campbell, brother of former British Columbia Premier Gordon Campbell is a business talk radio show host and either has a Masters or a PhD in economics.  He is also a failed businessman (his magazine 'Equity' went under shortly after they published an issue showing former B.C Premier Glen Clark in a photoshopped nazi uniform) and is possibly the stupidest person on the planet.

He does a daily weekday editorial on CKNW laughingly called a 'business comment' in which he never actually discusses business at all but gives essentially the same editorial every time "leftists are bad..."

He also hosts a weekly radio show on the same station which features regular guests some of whom are of highly questionable ethics.  I won't name any names, but anybody interested can check out Michael Campbell's guest list and then look up articles by retired Vancouver Sun business reporter David Baines.

One of his regulars though who is highly ethical is jeweler turned business analyist Michael Levi (who may or may not have a degree in economics).  Although Levi is also an economic conservative (he was the 1988 Social Credit byelection candidate in Vancouver-Pont Grey against Dr. Tom Perry) he, unlike the clown Campbell, is thoughtful and highly intelligent.

If you're an Econ-Math major then sure. As electives, yes.
