for Economnics.
Well deserved, for those who were following.
I 'discovered' him on the internets about eighteen months ago. And got a crash course on econimics via a streaming video. A long one that opened my eyes to what was coming.
(Economics 'used' to be taught in schools in the US, but they dropped it as subject just before I reached that level. Wonder why.... huh, better you don't know that you're getting taken for a ride with the guy who offered you candy to get into his car...)
Whatever, I was startled at the lucidity and comprehensiveness of his lecture. And it was dire eighteen months ago.
The other thing that came across was his basic shyness, and an underlying sense of humour that was charming.
He certainly seems to have a grip on how things work, and is not afraid to be critical.
In his quiet way.....
I didn't think an American would get this this year.... but he more than deserves it and seems to do much to educate people via the internet.
Oh yes, well-deserved.
And congratulations again!
