hoggy Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 I just want to add about the pizza - I tried a pizza from a proper italian pizza place - and I don't think I've ever actually eaten a real pizza before. It had pepperoni and olives and I think mozzarella, with extra garlic oil, chill oil and oregano - which I know, putting extra stuff on a pizza is not really simple enough to be a proper italian style but anyway something tells me you could have a margerita and it would still be delicious. if anyone wants to know where it is (in central london) I can find out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Mughnus Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I don't understand my essay question in economics. "How does the division of labour define the subject matter of economics"? I get that the subject matter of economics is the production and distribution of output. Division of labour is essentially "who does what". I get historical context RE different economic systems and how division of labour relates there. But I can't connect all the dots to answer how division of labour "defines" the subject matter of economics. ffs maybe it's just semantics I'm getting held up on.

Schlitze Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Bing still being crap. Are Microsoft still happy for this shit engine to be Google's retarded brother after all these years? I googled 'Barnaby Joyce' earlier to see if the Aussie agricultural minister had taken a stance on his live cattle exports and their untracability when they leave Oz. Truth is he couldn't give a shit about them when they leave, they ain't his problem any more, he only cares about what's coming in. Google gives me this info, why can't the eternally appalling bing bother. Why does Bing even bother existing? I'd rather have Jarvis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon Sumbitches Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 The Dr Oetker Ristorente spinach and mozzarella frozen pizzas are lush tho I had a Dr Oetker pizza once and it was comfortably the worst-tasting pizza I've ever had. Like a wee plastic pizza made by someone who's never seen an actual pizza. Granted this was a good few years ago so maybe they've shaped up since then but man, it was rank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luke viia Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Between work and weekend activities, I've spent the majority of every day this week surrounded by people. Heavy introvert - my brain is taxed. Aimless socializing wears me out so fast...I was ready to leave a wedding party yesterday 20 minutes after I showed up (my ride wasn't though, spent almost five hours there). One more day then I'm spending Monday reading on the couch, blinds down, phone off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambermonk Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 ^ I can relate, big time. It's been a draining week of social obligations for me as well.FWP: Too fat. I've been on a veggie diet for most of the past six months, which has had some effect, but not enough. Occasional depression hits too, and now I'm thinking lack of regular exercise outside of work is at the center of all this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Division of labour indicates you would be talking about micro rather than macro, because you're discussing allocation of a resource (labour). This partly answers the question "what is produced and how?" Which is one of the key basic questions in micro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweepstakes Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 FWP: Too fat. Me too, but I've somehow been far more concerned with my other problems. Of course, solving this one would solve a bunch of the other ones, or at least would make them easier, and would prevent some others from happening that are surely around the corner if I don't fix this one.

usagi Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) division of labour = specialisation. specialisation means that a person who is skilled at a particular task gets assigned that task to the exclusion of all others, hence the "division" aspect. this is because specialisation has been found to be ideal for creating efficiencies and economies of scale (think like factory assembly lines). efficiency/economies of scale is one of the conditions required for a healthy economy, especially when talking about "output" i.e. goods and services. that's your starting point, I'd flesh that out. edit: also the question is somewhat misleading because there's more to economics than just division of labour or "production". prices, trade, capital/investment, etc., it expands into a whole other set of things. the production and distribution of goods and services is just the starting point.

Thanks, I think you're right actually. Pretty basic now that you put it that way. I haven't done a social studies type course in a long, long time .

No one else could take it with them, so the task of beer-keeper fell to me. Tertiary FWP: I'm feeling increasing burnout from video games in general. The types of games I'd spend the wee hours of the night playing in my mid-twenties, I can't play anymore for more than a half hour without getting bored. I must be ready for something new... ...like learning Max, maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
