Larry Moss: One of the Good Guys in Economics

摘要

When Widdy Ho, widow of Larry Moss, invited me to contribute a short piece to this volume in remembrance of Larry Moss, I was honored, and immediately accepted. Larry was one of the good guys, and it's always sad when a good guy is taken out before his time by that big guy in the sky. I suspect that I will get into hot water with the p.c. crowd for saying "good guys"-I recognize that I should have put "guys and gals"-no, that wouldn't do either. I should have put "one of the good people." But to phrase it that way would have destroyed the flow and cadence of the sentence. I suspect that had Larry been the editor of this volume, he would have let "one of the good guys" slip through.
