Professor Robert Frank—March 15, 2010
Come spend a dynamic evening (including dessert & coffee) with Robert H. Frank, economics columnist for The New York Times and Professor of Economics at Cornell University's Johnson School.
Professor Frank's latest book, The Economic Naturalist's Field Guide: Common Sense for Troubled Times, illuminates the intersection between abstract theory and common sense from which satisfying, pragmatic decisions can emerge by virtue of a surprisingly small number of key principles. You'll be captivated by Bob's clear but rich way of explaining things like:
- Why was JFK's "Ask not" appeal so effective?
- Is the estate tax really as bad as Rush Limbaugh thinks?
- Why do Americans save so little?
- Is happiness the only important welfare measure?
