Some of you may be interested in viewing a Lloyd Mints video clip
that someone has posted to You Tube. Mints was a member of the early
Chicago School, along with better-known members Frank Knight and
Jacob Viner. Mints wrote on banking, and the clip includes a couple
of comments from Mints on banks and bankers, from an interview when
he turned 100 in 1988----in our current situation, Mints' scepticism
of bankers seems prescient.
(My next-door neighbor, Lloyd Woodworth, is Mints' nephew, and was
named "Lloyd" in honor of his uncle; he kindly alerted me to the
posting of the clip.)
