Michalopoulos,Stelios and Xue. Melanie Meng. "Folklore." The Quarterly Journal of Economics Forthcoming, 2021. DOI Replication data Youtube Video

The Local Noodle, Middlebury's Only New Source

Books

A History of Western Philosophy by Betrand Russel

Blindsight by Peter Watts

Anthropology, Economics, and Choice. An excellent criticism of economics from an anthropologist. A lot of criticism of economics is written by people who have no idea what economists do. Chibnik's book is not one of those.

Career and Family. This book focuses mostly on, for a lack of a better word, elite American women. Readers should know that a lot of American Women are still having children before they are 24.

The Genetic Lottery: Why DNA matters for social equality by Kathryn Paige Harden

I really enjoyed The WEIRDest People in the World by Joseph Henrich.
I think this criticizes Henrich's work but have yet to read it.

Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality
I'm not going to get into my views on Yudkowsky, but I think this is a good piece of work and recommend that you read it.
Also, there is a huge collection of fan fictions about this fan fiction. Here I rank some of them that I have read
    Unriddle the Riddles
    Following the Phoenix
    Following the Phoenix - Flashes
    Significant digits
    Revival
    Draco Malfoy and the Practice of Rationality

Short stories

A list of links to all short stories, novellas, and one long story written by Liu Cixin. (In Chinese)
Huge fan of his work.

...and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes by Scott Alexander.
One of the funnier stories. Scott Alexander's short stories are all pretty fun.

Lena: MMAcevedo (Mnemonic Map/Acevedo) by qntm

The Redaction Machine by Ben

Textbooks

Introduction to Higher mathematics: If you want to get into proof-based math, this book is a great place to start.

Yet another introduction to analysis: I only got into math in college, and this is the first higher math textbook that I really read. Very friendly textbook. Would recommend.

Mathematical Methods for Economic Theory

R for Data Science. Great introduction to R. However I would actually recommend first learning a bit of base R before using this book. Any random base R course is fine. At least know what View() does, how to concatenate various vectors, and subset vectors/dataframes using single/double bracket notation.

Introduction to Econometrics with R. I use this as reference book for R and regressions.

Basic Category Theory. Good fun. I also find Robin Traux's notes to be helpful.

How to do Great Work by Paul Graham
Also his What I worked on blog is a good read too.

Pop Culture Detective. A cool YouTube channel with longform video essays on films.

Econ 7818 - Mathematical Statistics at University of Colorado Boulder. Some good measure theory here

MIT opencourseware
(Still a better platform than coursera and edX) Although now that I think about it, ocw is good as a reference material whereas edX, coursera, and MITOnlineLearning is probably better when you actually want to follow a class from start to finish
Update: The new UI is terrible.

Sneeuw, a documentary film I made for a class, and a tribute to Regen.

2 Immigrant Paths: One Led to Wealth, the Other Ended in Death in Atlanta. New York Times

Harvard's Theoretical Linear Algebra and Real Analysis class (Math 25a/b)
And its more difficult counterpart 55a and 55b.
While we're on the subject of m a t h I'm also including Evan Chen's website cause it has lots of math goodies.

Some class on Market Design

Modelsummary, this r package for making super cool tables with like these embedded histograms and boxplots. I need to learn to use this... Another neat package is skimr.
