[Wikimedia-l] 'Periodic Table of Economics': Mapping the Global Economy

[Alex Peek]

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.
