Professor Walter E. Williams (1936-2020) died
What some of my economics professors could not teach about economics in schools and college, was taught by eminent American free market economist and popular professor Dr Walter E Williams who died last week. Although, I have learned a holistic meaning of economic principles from his vast writings.
"Never trying to wow students with his credentials, Williams taught the principles of economics, which he thought of as common sense. Every year, upon completing his Ph.D.-level microeconomics class (no easy feat), Williams treated his students to food and drinks. He was impatient with nonsense, but he was never impatient with the process of learning. The number of students who benefitted from his genius are too many to count. Many of them are now teachers themselves, passing on Williams’ teaching to even more minds." More here from his true student.
Here are some of the brilliant true to this greatest free market economics:
