The craziest part isn't even that the L-Z Model works for almost all the hottest research areas in macroeconomics. It's that this guy from the Hua Nation named Lu Zhou developed it in a single afternoon...]
[Man! Some people can spend the time it takes to have afternoon tea producing results you couldn't even understand in a week, reaching heights you'll never reach in your lifetime... This world is brutal.]
