<p>chicago has 7 nobelists currently on faculty, 5 of whom are full-time tenured. 73 total nobelists have been affiliated with the university (student, alumni, professor)</p>

<p>If you think the last five years were bad you were not around for the Carter years. 20% interest and terms like the Rust Belt for the economic decline of the midwest. The last few years were a minor adjustment to the excesses of the late 90's which moved too much money into worthless dotcoms.</p>
<p>yeah but at least with carter we had a president who spoke english and we didn't have someone running the country who only tried to please the religious right.</p>
<p>I read a couple of Paul Krugman's opinion articles from NY Times and we even discussed one in our Economics Society. He tends to be EXTREMELY liberal.</p>
<p>Daniel Kahneman is at Princeton, where, according to the admission tour, he teachs an intro level Psych. class.</p>
<p>TheCity, I don't know about that. Johnson was so F'n bad its hard to think anyone could be worse. In my mind he is the prime reason that reconstruction failed, which made black wait nearly 100 years for the rights that they could have had had Johnson done his job. Just my two cents.</p>
<p>"Harvard had both Robert Nozick and John Rawls, until the latter's death in November of 2002, I believe."</p>
<p>I thought they both passed away. That's what my TA said. </p>
<p>wow everyone's mentioning paul krugman. i'm from LA so i don't read the NY Times, but i'd have to guess he's really good since my econ textbook that we used at UCLA was written by him.</p>
