Professor Richard Freeman, one of the people who taught me labour economics, and perhaps the most prolific writer in the economics profession, is giving a seminar at Sydney University on Thursday. Details:
Title: “Experimental Economics on Inequality”
Time: 4 pm, Thursday 24 August
Place: Rm 498, Merewether Building, Butlin Avenue (off City Road), University of Sydney
Cost:Â It’s free, man.
Andrew surely you are the most prolific writer in the economics profession
I’m afraid I’m a long way away on this one. Richard has 400 articles and 25 books.
Andrew,
Its not jusrt that Prof Freeman is prolofic. It is that he writes a lot of stuff that is of very high quality!!!
How does he compare with Harry Johnson, who apparently also produced a lot of very high quality work?
Regards,
Damien.
Damien,
The main differences are that Freeman is less of a drunk and wears silliler hats.
Andrew, why does he wear that hat?
Nicholas, it’s not just one hat – Richard has dozens. But as you say, they’re all silly.
I guess the answer is that when you’re very very smart, you can get away with pretty much anything.
