Dear Roger, > Congratulations to Masazumi Wakatabe for tracking down the late 1933 references in which groups of prominent economists criticised FDR's gold policy (in the Washington Post and New York Times). Could Masazumi give us the names of the signatories? I wish I could. But the list includes 50 names (12 plus 38), so please forgive me for not giving all the details. Suffice it to say, however, that the 12 economists from western region did not include well-known economists, while 38 of Columbia professors included some notable economists such as James Angell, Wesley C. Mitchell, and H. Parker Willis. Masazumi Wakatabe
