Greg Mankiw has been busy! In a series of recent blog posts, he's shared updates on various topics, from personal accolades to insightful discussions on economics and policy.
Gratitude to Pingry School
Mankiw recently expressed his heartfelt thanks to the Pingry School for honoring him with the Letter-in-Life Award. "I would like to publicly thank all my friends at the Pingry School," he wrote, acknowledging the recognition from his alma mater. It's always rewarding to see achievements recognized, and Mankiw's appreciation shines through.
Fiscal Challenges Webinar
Looking ahead, Mankiw is gearing up to host a webinar focused on the pressing fiscal challenges facing the next U.S. president. The webinar is scheduled for Wednesday, October 23rd. While details are scarce in the post itself, Mankiw provides a link for those interested in learning more. This promises to be a timely discussion, given the ever-evolving economic landscape.
A Podcast Recommendation: Franco Modigliani's Story
Mankiw also shared a podcast recommendation that caught our eye: a deep dive into the early life of economist Franco Modigliani. But here's the twist – it's not about his economic theories! Instead, the podcast focuses on Modigliani's escape from fascist Italy, as told by his grandson, David Modigliani. Mankiw noted he listened on Audible, but suggests it's "probably available at other outlets as well."
Mankiw has also announced conversations with Scott Cunningham and Jon Hartley. While the details are minimal, these announcements suggest upcoming interviews or discussions that promise interesting insights. Stay tuned for more on those!
