Brat’s syllabus for “The Ends of Economic Justice” lists God as the author of the Bible. (I’ll wager God’s not receiving royalties.) Sales aren’t everything though. Sadly, like Plato and Aristotle, the omnipotent deity is merely suggested reading; the required textbook is by none other than Brat himself. Well, it is an economics class.

University professors are the greatest human beings who ever peopled the planet. Words and symbols are good stuff. There’s Robert Oppenheimer scratching things on a chalkboard before a star-struck Edward R. Murrow at the IAS.
Still, does anyone really remember the Laffer Curve?
