Hoisted from Comments- The Rule of Five

Gabriel responded to the question;

Can I still be an economist and be bad on Math? If not how can I apply my excellent knowledge on economics?

For people in our situation, two things should be avoided: 1) buying heterodox stuff, just because it's math-free; 2) giving up trying to understand (I find that after the 5th, full-attention read, I "get it", even if it takes 3 reads for others).

I think I will try the rule of 5.
