Subject: Regarding Teaching Intermediate Microeconomics
Hello professor block
Im due to be running tutorials for intermediate microeconomics here at Ryerson for the winter semester and am wondering how you, as an austrian economist, taught the course.
how an austrian work/notes for intermediate micro would look like.
Being that this is usally the first course mathematics are used at great lengths in the undergraduates economics degree, im wondering how you taught the material?
Best Regards
Yakov Smith

Dear Yakov:
I teach intermediate micro from a mainstream point of view. And then I add an Austrian critique of indifference curves, cardinal utility, etc.
Where do you teach?
Best regards,
Walter

Im a first year PhD student at Ryerson University in toronto canada and. My TA ship has me running tutorials for classes of 50 students at a time twice a week. I also work for a small Jewish university startup (for lack of better term for the endeavor) here which has partnered with empire state college in NY (apparently its easier to work a program through the states than in canada).
Do you have supplementary slides or materials you can share with me? Im interested in

Dear Yakov:
A lot of the material I use for this sort of thing can be found in this book of mine:
Barnett, William II and Walter E. Block. 2017. Essays in Austrian Economics. New York: Ishi Press; http://www.amazon.com/Essays-Austrian-Economics-William-Barnett/dp/4871873242/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1348528287&sr=1-1&keywords=essays+in+Austrian+economics
