Paul is my favorite economist. I read his posts at his blog "The Conscience of a Liberal" every day. He writes about economics in a way that folks like me, who are mostly unschooled in economics, can understand. Along with his capacious knowledge of economics, Paul exhibits a great deal of plain old common sense, which I find quite appealing. Oh, and he also won the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2008. Before the day is over, I'll raise a glass to Paul's having many more happy birthdays, and I look forward to reading his wise posts, interspersed with humor, for a long time in the future. And that's not to mention his Friday night musical offerings.
H/T to Bill in Portland Maine for the reminder and to my friend Paul (A.) for the link.
