I want to clarify that I am not a professional economist. I am a financial
economics major at Western Washington University.
These 'Economy of X' are designed for laypersons to see the economic
reality of the world. I believe if the public were more informed on
economics, we would better chance solving world hunger. Once this project
is finished, one will clearly see that there are resources available to
solve most of societies problems. I believe that my project provides a very
strong argument for humanitarian organizations in the world.
This project is a fundamentally missing piece of the economic conversation.

Hi Alex, just curious - since you refer to yourself as
an economist,
what institution(s) are you affiliated with?
And can you explain how writing "Economy of X" articles, no matter how
detailed, will solve the problem of uneven resource distribution
around the world?

The goal of my project is create the *periodic table* for economics
readable to laypersons. To my knowledge, no other economist has attempted
to make a 'periodic table' for economics. I am using Wikipedia as a
platform for this project to gain recognition.
I demand that my project gets global attention. I cannot emphasize how
important this is. The current political leadership has shown incapable
of
addressing our current problems. Change is
needed. A new economic
perspective is needed. This project will enable the voting public to
clearly see the injustices of today's world economy.
I feel morally responsible to stand on top of a mountain and yell for
attention. My intentions are altruistic. People are dying of starvation
everyday and I will not shut up until they have food. We must build
schools
in developing countries with taxpayer money in
rich countries. We have
the
power to fix a lot of the world's problems if
we only allocated our
resources properly.
I have listed below draft article that I have been working on (not
finished). Please check them out. I would love any help I can get.
