| In time of tumult, obscure economist gains currency
The Wall Street Journal Aug. 20, 2007 -- The recent market turmoil is rocking investors around the globe. But it is raising the stock of one person: a little-known economist named Hyman Minsky, whose views have suddenly become very popular. Minsky, who taught economics at WUSTL and died more than a decade ago, spent much of his career advancing the idea that financial systems are inherently susceptible to bouts of speculation that, if they last long enough, end in crises. At a time when many economists were coming to believe in the efficiency of markets, Mr. Minsky was considered somewhat of a radical for his stress on their tendency toward excess and upheaval. Former WUSTL economics professor Laurence Meyer and current economics professor Steven Fazzari comment. |

| The Right's New Deal for the Gulf Coast
BusinessWeek.com Sept. 22, 2005 -- Article looks at the Gulf reconstruction plan announced by President Bush. Bush's vision of stimulating business investment to lift thousands out of poverty is a far cry from classic Washington-directed pump-priming. Instead, it is something of a conservative New Deal, a radically rethought version of Big Government that bends its spending to conservative goals: lower taxes, less regulation, more local control, and bootstrap capitalism. WUSTL social work professor Michael Sherraden comments. |
| Colleges Scramble to Plan Events to Comply With Federal Mandate for Constitution Day
Chronicle of Higher Education Sept. 2, 2005 -- A new federal law that requires colleges to present educational programming about the U.S. Constitution every September 17 has many institutions scrambling to develop programs just as the academic year is getting under way.

WUSTL will use the day as a chance to formally open the Richard A. Gephardt Institute for Public Service. The event will feature an Assembly Series lecture by economist Hernando de Soto and a speech by Mr. Gephardt, a former Democratic congressman from Missouri. WUSTL political science professor emeritus James Davis, director of the center, comments. |
