Edmund Burke, Reflections on the Revolution in France,
1790

This is my study group from my first year in graduate school at Yale. They are now teaching economics at the University of
Wisconsin, Goethe University Frankfurt, Tufts University, USC and Stanford Law School. They are also working as economists at the
World Bank, the IMF and J.P. Morgan.
