Previously, in our examples, we looked at the case of log utility.

Log utility is a rather special case.
Log utility is a rather special case of CRRA utility with $\gamma \to 1$.

In this section, we are going to assume that $u(c) = \frac{ c^{1-
\gamma}-1}{1-\gamma}$, where $\gamma >0, \gamma\neq 1$.
