I just gave this lecture regarding the decoding of economics. The subject matter was different from any other I have given.
I describe how the subject mutated with the changing needs of the ruling classes. The audience included the public at large, students of economics, philosophy, and other subject. The first couple sentences were directed at the way that I was introduced.
