    New uni mail

    I have successfully logged in and changed my password, now whenever I try to log in it tells me either the email or password is incorrect (and no, I haven't forgotten my password). Anyone got an idea as to why this might be the case?

    ECOP Question/Opinion

    Well I suppose I've had two tutors (had the same one for both the first year subjects) that I haven't really got along with, which probably goes a long way to explaining my opinion of the department. Yeah I wouldn't worry about the SA, even a lot of Marxists I have spoken to disagree with most...

    ECOP Question/Opinion

    Done 1001 and 1003, currently doing 3012. Just as an example, last week my tutor said point blank that neoliberal policies had enslaved the third world. When I even dared to question him he suggested that I was an imperialist...This week, he claimed he believed in the labour theory of value...

    ECOP Question/Opinion

    PE at usyd basically presents every theory from a Marxist perspective; IMO it doesn't present a balanced view of economics. As I said, the reason it was kicked out of the faculty of E&B was that it wasn't seen as being 'real' economics. The department are more than happy to point out the...

    ECOP Question/Opinion

    That's the thing though, political economy has very little to do with economics. That's why they kicked it out of the faculty of economics and business. It is just a pathetic bunch of old Marxists desperately trying to cling on to relevance. The first year units are alright, it just goes...

    Where can I park near USYD darlington campus for free?

    ^^Yeah, but its a fair walk from Darlington. But its probably the only option apart from getting one of the 2 hour spots and moving your car around.

    Where can I park near USYD darlington campus for free?

    Because public transport is for peasants and rapists.

    How are all of the Arts student's timetables?

    I have a clash between GOVT2225 and ECOP3012. I went and complained to the Arts faculty about this; they said the two schools (government and political economy) don't talk to each other when timetabling units, even though they are in the same faculty. I suggested it would make sense if they did...

    Mine has WileyPlus included, which is the online thing. Not sure if that is the ebook you are talking about.

    Econ1001 textbook for sale

    I also have this textbook for sale, as well as the accompanying study guide, and also I didn't use the online thing, so you can activate and use that if you want, hence there is no disadvantage over buying a new book. I'll sell both for $70, PM if interested.

    Do you think that a second stimulus package is needed to boost our economy?

    The stimulus package was designed so that it went to those with the highest marginal propensity to consume, hence as much of it would be spent as possible, propping up the economy. Although in purely economic terms this makes sense, it ignores the side effects at throwing money at groups of...

    Do you think that a second stimulus package is needed to boost our economy?

    This country has too much private debt and has had so for some time. By giving money to battlers to fritter away on plasma tv's, pokies, booze and smokes it is only prolonging the problem, and when our debt inevitably comes back to bite us in the arse it will only make it worse. Such a stimulus...

    Upholding humanity: Israel starves Gaza Strip of cash

    I think this debate has a good chance of reaching a conclusion satisfactory to all parties involved. After all, I'm sure some tards on an internet forum know something the rest of the world hasn't been able to figure out for the past 60 years...
