----------------- HES POSTING -----------------
O.k., I cannot resist. Here are my suggestions:
- Thorstein Veblen: The Leisure of the Theory Class
- Joseph A. Schumpeter: How I became Austria's greatest lover and Europe's
greatest horseman
- Larry Summers: The Big Sur Plus an epilogue by H. A. Rey: Curious George
goes back the 80s
- Friedrich A. Hayek: The long and winding road (to Stockholm)
- Freddy Mercury: Whewell Whewell rock you
- Joseph E. Stiglitz: Globalization and Its Discontents
O.k., the last one is a bit mean and heavily biased. But I can assure you,
I really like reading Stiglitz, believe me.
The first one was inspired by a recent reading of John K. Galbraith's
Name-dropping. If I recall it correctly, he says something like that a
colleague of his refers to academic conferences as the leisure of the
theory class.
