Some of our viewers are insisting (probably because of wiz-kid @ffffedu's tweets) that the newest member of our cast, Julita Strada, is an economist with a doctorate.
Our staff writers have always made it clear the Julita character is a political scientist! This thread explains:

Julita was a fan favorite in Season 1, back when she showed percentages on TV that didn't add up to 100. But in Season 2, the plot thickens when Hernán Letcher secures a position for her at the Bank of BA.
Audiences were confused (looking at you, LN+). Was she an economist? No.

The character has been consistent from day one, 100% no retcon.
In S02E2 it is revealed that Julita pursued a Master's in Political Economy at FLACSO. But die-hard fans will tell you: that Master's has *one* introductory mathematical course. And all they see is a linear model.

And yes, Season 2 does hint that she took a Doctorate in "Economic Development" at the University of Quilmes. But again, know your trivia. That doctorate doesn't have a single course on mathematics or statistics.
Our writers did this on purpose. Julita is a political scientist!

If you still don't believe us, compare all that to the kind of education that a master's in actual, real economics (not even a doctorate) would get at the Di Tella University. Notice a difference? Of course you do.

We hope this clears it up.
The Julita character was written from day one as a carefree girl the audience could relate to. The type that makes basic mistakes discussing tax burdens without even reading the specifics. Who hasn't?

Thanks to all our fans for their continued support! Be sure to tune in to our next episode, where (spoiler warning) health authorities clarify during a press conference that by "vacuna en Diciembre" they meant something related to cows.
