What this is
Gen Z Economics is an open-source archive of macroeconomics notes taken from Prof. Tantri’s lecture series. The goal is simple: take notes that would otherwise live in one student’s folder and turn them into something the whole cohort (and anyone else learning macro) can read, correct, and build on.
We’re not trying to replace a textbook. We’re trying to build a living set of notes — the kind that get sharper every time someone spots a mistake or adds a helpful aside.
Why Gen Z
Because macro feels abstract until you tie it to stuff you actually see — rupee swings, UPI stats, the Budget, jobs data, crypto, rent. The notes keep the math, but the framing is for people trying to make sense of the world they’re going to be working and investing in.
How it’s made
All content lives in a public GitHub repository. Anyone can:
- Read the notes on the site.
- Open an Issue suggesting a fix, a clarification, or a new note.
- Open a Pull Request with an actual edit.
A rotating group of student moderators (currently: students from the Finance Club) reviews every change before it gets merged. Once a PR is merged, the site rebuilds itself within minutes.
Longer term we’d love to bring in faculty review too — CAF and other academic groups are welcome.
