Larry Smith’s blog started back in November and he’s written two posts so far at the end of December.
For those that don’t know, Larry Smith is an economics professor at the University of Waterloo and he’s legendary at least in the UW community. I had my first econ class – ECON 101 (micro) – with him and had him again for ECON 102 (macro). He has taught tens of thousands of UW students and his intro-level economics courses are one of the most popular courses at UW. He teaches economics in a way that is accessible to everyone and most importantly, very enjoyable.
In any case, this is awesome that he has a blog now and I hope he updates it regularly. I’ve been wanting to sit in on his classes just to keep up to date on the world of economics (he begins every class with his “briefing” on the current economic situation) but I haven’t had the drive to walk to campus at night for it.
If you want to have a “competitive advantage”, as he says, over everyone else in this world then I highly recommend you read his blog.
Yay! Finally! I’ve had privilege of taking both his Econs, as well! Well so to say simply. he’s awesome enough that it gave me the courage to walk there and back from him night classes
I hope you went to see him at the Last Lecture this year! Glad to see you are so excited.
I was a student of Larry’s years ago and he is the best……
Very simple view of the real world. With a chatter box skill he can keep you awake……….
