I just learned that Larry Sechrest, who taught economics at the small Sul Ross State University in west Texas died yesterday.
Here is a tribute.
If you read the tribute, you find out that Larry was an Austrian School economist who wrote a book on free banking (that didn’t make him very famous) and who also wrote an article saying that most of the students at his school ought to be back in high school (which made him infamous).
I recommend reading his “Barbarians at the Gate” speech (link included in the tribute), which is particularly relevant right now.
