I just had the pleasure of reading a brilliant essay by one of my classmates Geoff Lea.
I lived with Geoff during the last academic year. He has since moved on to New York to fulfill a research opportunity at the Foundation for Economic Education where he will be working on an intellectual biography of Henry Hazlitt and (to the best of my knowledge) a dissertation on the role of economic communicators within the history of economic thought.
I am fond of telling people interested in graduate school, that the majority of learning takes place outside of the classroom. Aside from attending optional lectures, seminars, workshops, and always writing (writing, writing, and more writing), your peers are an infinite pool of valuable information that can and should be tapped constantly. After knowing Geoff for the past few years I can honestly say that there is no other person who I have found myself in more total agreement with on the topics of political economy.
Congratulations on the publication Geoff!!!
