Professor Romer

My favorite college professor, Christina Romer - who used examples like the smell of candy from a candy factory as a positive externality, had me loving drawing marginal utility graphs and wrote one of my recommendations for law school applications - is Chair of President Obama's Council of Economic Advisers. Wow!

This impresses me more than a partner from my firm being picked to serve as the assistant attorney general for some reason...

If you can't be great yourself, it's nice to see people around you being promoted to greatness!
