In my view, they are not. Demand has two dimensions: willingness and ability to pay. Willingness without ability is mere desire — and desire is boundless. The substance of demand, therefore, lies entirely in the ability to pay. text/html 2026-06-01T03:51:40+00:00 super (super@undisclosed.example.com) https://sheereconomics.com/xie/ximalaya/reviews?rev=1780285900&do=diff Audio Course on Ximalaya Professor Xie Zuoshi launched a complete microeconomics course on Ximalaya platform.

He is also candid about his own contradictions: before forty, he supported welfarism, the position he now sees as corrosive to property rights. That willingness to follow an argument wherever it leads is perhaps the best introduction to the man. text/html 2026-05-31T09:32:49+00:00 super (super@undisclosed.example.com) https://sheereconomics.com/start?rev=1780219969&do=diff The Road to Truth [The Road to Truth]An independent economist, Xie Zuoshi (/ʃɪə zuəs/ rhymes with Sheer Zeus), rebuilds the foundation of economics. On that foundation, his new treatise of macroeconomics (translated) shows that the restored microeconomics subsume the macroeconomics. Rooted in the conviction that 95% of economics is simply well-organized common sense, his theory framework presents most of its core ideas in language accessible to high school students.

Sheer Economics exists to offer a concise yet powerful framework for understanding the forces that shape our lives. Economics, at its best, should provide such a framework. It should help us make sense of markets, policies, and human behavior, and enable us to make better decisions. Yet much of mainstream economics is filled with inconsistent principles and convoluted models that often mislead. text/html 2026-05-30T07:48:45+00:00 super (super@undisclosed.example.com) https://sheereconomics.com/?image=xie%3Axiezuoshi_stevenchueng.jpeg&ns=xie&rev=1780127325&tab_details=history&media_do=diff&do=media <img src="https://sheereconomics.com/_media/xie/xiezuoshi_stevenchueng.jpeg?w=500&amp;h=500&amp;tok=be4bab" alt="xiezuoshi_stevenchueng.jpeg" loading="lazy" width="500" height="500" /> text/html 2026-05-28T01:53:29+00:00 super (super@undisclosed.example.com) https://sheereconomics.com/books/macroeconomics-has-no-clothes/toc?rev=1779933209&do=diff Tables of Contents --- Macroeconomics Has No Clothes Foreword A Fresh Eye On Economics, Guided By Innate Curiosity Preface When First Principles Fail Contents Chapter 1.
