#27: geeky economists
I have company, and a rather esteemed one at that. Greg Mankiw, Brad DeLong, Gary Becker, and I share two common interests. One is economics, and the other is that we all blog! Who could have thought of that from a bunch of wind-bags?
The Economist has an article in its recent issue aptly titled: "The invisible hand on the keyboard: Why do economists spend valuable time blogging?"
That's one cheeky way of joining their elite group. There is but a trivial (and annoying) difference. The others in the list are all world renowned academics, have already one Nobel Laureate among them, sell millions of copies of textbooks, and have meaningful musings about the world of economics that push the envelope of our understanding.
I am working towards getting there; it just might take me a lifetime.

SC, those guys have nothing on you in terms of teaching. Your clarity of writing and presentation doubtlessly trump all sensai! Now let's go make you famous.
Muchas gracias, VLM. I hope you are on the board when I go job-hunting!! I read about your exploits, Mr. Sam-Seaborn-in-the making. Way to go ...
