 In my life, I've met like, you know, Paul Samuelson, the famous economist who revolutionized the field and really revolutionized the field, or Robert Solow invented the growth model, or Kenneth Arrow. I mean, these guys are actually, you know, made, you know, really important contributions, and those three were very interesting people, you know, that you would love to listen to them, or hang out with them, have a beer with them, things like that. And I just don't think of myself quite in that category. So, you know, I'm just kind of an ordinary guy. So I first got interested in economics. At the time, I was a physics major, and my girlfriend was taking an introductory economics class, and she was having some trouble with the math concepts in introductory economics, and she asked me to give her a hand, and I started reading the book to give her a hand, and I realized that there was some interesting things in there that I had never really seen discussed. And one thing that really caught my attention was the fact that in using a very simple economic model, it was possible to explain something that I'd known intuitively from my life growing up on a farm, which is just because it's a good crop year, a year with high crop yields, doesn't necessarily mean the farmers are going to be richer. In fact, oftentimes a good crop year is a year when farm income is low, because prices fall so much. And when I saw that explained in this economic way, I was kind of interested in the textbook and spent a couple of nights and read the whole book, or most of the book, and got interested in seeing whether I could take an economics class. Forty years ago, at the top 50 or 100 universities in the United States, the economics courses would have had certain things that they just said were, they would have said that the minimum wage, almost all the textbooks would have said minimum wage was a bad idea. Rent controls are a really bad idea, for example. They don't say that anymore. But that generation of people are still, they're the ones in charge, and they're not going to change their views. So you can't really change the views of most of the people who've already made up their decisions. You're really hoping to influence the next generation.
