Ecoscience (Economic)

An area of study within metascience that examines science through the lens of economics—how economic forces shape scientific practice, and how science functions as an economic agent. Ecoscience asks how money flows through science: who funds research, how funding shapes agendas, how economic incentives influence scientific behavior, how scientific knowledge generates economic value. It also examines science as an economic actor—how universities function as economic institutions, how research drives innovation and growth, how scientific labor markets operate, how intellectual property regimes shape knowledge production. Ecoscience reveals that science is not just a pursuit of truth but an economic activity, embedded in markets, driven by incentives, and producing economic value alongside knowledge.

Ecoscience (Economic) Example: "Her ecoscience analysis showed how the shift to grant-based funding transformed university research—not just what got studied, but how scientists thought about their work, their careers, and their relationships with knowledge."

History of Economic Thought

A lesson for undergraduate economics classes. Economists those died hundreds of years ago can still fuck your mind because of this lesson. Some of them claim that value can only be determined by demand and others begin to blend them by being foolish, because, according to them value can only be determined by supply or something fucking else.

I used to think that Karl Marx is a merit figure in history because he tried to solve the poverty problem but now i think he's fucking crazy. You will see his name in everywhere if you are am economics student. In Sociology, in macroeconomics, in microeconomics, in comparative world economy, in politics...

In 2nd the January which is follower of the 2015's first day, i have a final term for History of Economic Thought.

"K-shaped" economic recovery

An economic recovery in which the wealthiest benefit or gain new advantages from the recovery while everyone else continues to suffer and for the some and most poorest maters continually gets worse.

Theory of Constructed Economics

The argument that "the economy" is not a natural force like weather, but a human-constructed game with invented rules, players (households, firms), and scores (GDP, money). Concepts like "inflation," "unemployment," and "the market" are models we built; they then take on a life of their own and shape our behavior, but they began as ideas, not laws of physics.

*Example: "A 'recession' is two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth. GDP itself is a constructed metric invented in the 1930s. The Theory of Constructed Economics shows that the terrifying, objective-sounding force that 'causes' layoffs is actually a story we tell ourselves using numbers we invented. We built the game, forgot we built it, and now tremble at its rules."*
