r/badeconomics is a Finance & Crypto community on Reddit with 771,379 members, ranking #49 of 2,433 in Finance & Crypto. A friend of mine once said: You know what the problem is with being an economist? Everyone has an opinion about the economy. Nobody goes up to a geologist and says, 'Igneous rocks are fucking bullshit.' This subreddit is the repository for all of the woeful, antiquated, or plain old misguided notions Redditors post about how the economy works.
