There are a few thousand other books you should read - going back to Plato. You should also understand linear algebra and multivariate calculus. You should understand the equations in economics - even for the economics you disapprove of. This means working through people like Von Mises and Fridman that are enemies of socialism. If you want a meaningful framework through which economics should be approached mathematically you should read Brian Arthur as he was the first economist (to my knowledge) to apply dif frac calc and path dependencies into models.
So if by educated you mean you've read a few thousand books dating back to Athens and have a highly developed understanding of mathematics, history and economics then cool. If you mean you read some "Marxist" books and you've somehow a great command of human knowledge then go crawl under a fucking rock please.
All hail /u/Yeuph, master of a thousand other books you should read
Here's a more intuitive way to learn that. At 1% compound interest it takes 72 cycles to double your original value. At 2% it's 72/2, at 8% it's 72/8, etc.
Wow. Even their hard formulae can be simplified into 1st grade arithmetic.
Lol
Marx wasn't joking when he said all that economy stuff and bookkeeping could be done by the workers with minimal extra education. Hell he was talking about workers who had maybe 2 years of schooling and barely knew how to read. The workers of today are almost entirely highschool educated and absolutely already do everything themselves.
Yea the rule of 72
