Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)⁩ professor and ⁦NBER⁩ President Jim Poterba with many of his 88 PhD advisees! He is a legend for combining intellectual brilliance with genuine kindness. We were all so fortunate to have him as our adviser.

My take: lazy to put down things as simplistic. Simple is difficult to achieve, useful and beautiful.

Relative to Walrasian theory, the Keynesian cross and ISLM ideas were huge intellectual steps forward, cast in most minimalist forms.

Should be celebrated, not minimized.

Little known fact: The lyrics to the movie Jugnu were written by Kohat native Azar Sarhadi. He later came back to Kohat and started teaching in the school that I studied before coming back to CCH.
