True Economics

True Economics is the blog by Dr. Constantin Gurdgiev, adjunct Lecturer in Finance, Trinity College, Dublin, and director of Business & Finance magazine. He links to a recent WSJ interview with Nobel prize winner and University of Chicago economist Gary Becker. On the subject of the Chicago School, this five-minute video is very produced (there's something akin to Tubular Bells being played at times) but there are some memorable quotes, such as:

"People were interested in ideas and argument, not in making sure that you didn't ruffle anybody's feathers"

"There wasn't that much fighting in the lunches; they were pretty cordial!"
