1/n It’s been a long week, and we're only halfway, so here is a fun story of how new classical macroeconomics came to France - not the whole story, but part of the fabric of how economic ideas do travel As any 1980s French story, it involves postmodernism, art, fashion & nudes (and macro) #econsky

I'm in Princeton for the first time and I was wondering if anyone knows where exactly this picture was taken, what is the house in the background, and whether one can still walk on this path? Thank you, hive-mind!

For theory, I always thought that the story on how the proof was found is much more valuable than the super optimized backward engineered final version of it which, most of the time, kills the intuition but "looks impressive", I would love to see more on this in small "sketch" paragraphs
