I’m thinking of doing (1). Is there a particular way you think this should look?
How technical do you think the summary should be? The thing that would be easiest for me to write would require some maths understanding (eg. basic calculus and limits) but no economics understanding. Eg. about as technical as your summary but more maths and less philosophy.
Also, do you have thoughts on length? Eg. do you think a five page summary is substantially more accessible than the paper, or would the summary have to be much shorter than that?
(I’m also interested in what others would find useful)
I personally would suggest a format of: 1. One paragraph summary that any educated layperson easily can understand 2. One page summary that a layperson with college-level math skills can understand 3. 2-5 pages of detail that someone with college-level math and Econ 101 skills can understand
This is just a suggestion though, I don’t have a lot of confidence that it’s correct.
Now done here. It’s a ~10 page summary that someone with college-level math can understand (though I think you could read it, skip the math, and get the general idea).

You rock, thanks so much!
