I've been seeing a lot of content critical of the use of mathematics in economics and just wanted to make a video talking about why its useful.

Thanks for sharing! I understood math is important for deriving the consumer theory, profit maximization, even utility functions, and/or cost benefit functions; or measure/adjust the predictability of the statistical model.
Since I am a master's student, and I have a poor math background. I wonder do I learn math proof while I learn all the calculus, linear algebra, etc on the way?
Thanks!

Mathematics is precisely what I find interesting about economics. Without math, economics would just be political science or sociology.

You should do videos on Austrian Economic Theory

Increasing GDP is not increasing Wealth it is only increasing Cash Flow. What is Net Domestic Product, NDP. Economists do not talk about that.

Economists treat air conditioners like bananas. Both get added to GDP when purchased, but you know a banana won't last long. The air conditioner should take years to wear out. What happens to the depreciation? What happened to the depreciation of the 200, 000, 000 cars that were in the US in 1994?

We are listening to economists who can't do algebra.

NDP = GDP - Dcap   [Western economic calculation]
NDP  = GDP - (Dcap + Dcon)  [reality]

Dcap: Depreciation of Capital Goods 
Dcon: Depreciation of Durable Consumer Goods

GDP: Grossly Distorted Propaganda

Omg...this is the worst econ video I have ever seen IMHO.
