Last Tuesday was the start of classes and my first class was Economic Analysis of Major Policy Issues. When Gary Becker walked into the room the class went silent. He is a very un-assuming and speaks quietly and very matter-of-factly. Check out his CV...
Oh, and I have to admit that I was embarrased on the first day of class. I was diligently taking notes when he stopped and asked what I thought was a yes or no question about two points on an efficieny frontier curve. I answered 'no', but he was looking for a more something other than a yes/no. In my follow-up response, I unfortunately did not provide exactly what he wanted...
Do check out his blog - Becker-Posner - also linked at the side.
