R.I.P - Paul Samuelson


Today was a sad day for Economics with the passing of Paul Samuelson.

My first textbook in college was his classic "Economics" and I'll never forget talking about "guns and butter" when talking about resource allocation.

Let his soul rest in peace.

    Just received an email from a friend (Antonio Amaral) about P. Samuelson ...

    "Some of you know that I don't really like Samuelson and his followers :)
