TWO UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO ECONOMISTS SHARE NOBEL PRIZE

The University of Chicago piled up two more Nobel Prizes in economics. Lars Peter Hansen and Eugene Fama share this year’s award with Robert Shiller of Yale University. The three are honored for their individual research on asset prices, which has helped understand and predict how stock and bond prices will change over three years or longer.

Mr. Hansen is a former Beverly resident. Congrats.

Obama got one too. It's no longer a great honor.

Unfortunately the Chicago School of Econ. lost on most Chicagoans and most see
Chicago as a corrupt politcal machine and ,of late hijacked by the far left. Going back to Hyack,Friedman, Becker, Heckman and the list goes on of notables at U of C. The U of C defines the south side and also gave the Irish Jimmy Farell.
However, the Sociology and Anthropology gave us Alinsky. Ooops!

This blog is about

This blog is non-monetized and uses photos and materials from other sources. It is in compliance with Fair Use Section 107 of the U.S. Copyright Code. Music, videos and mugshots are for entertainment and disincentive purposes only. Any similarities or resemblances to people or pets, living, dead or imprisoned is just your imagination. Some stories are true, some are fictional while some of the stories are funny.

The theme of this blog has changed. We are now headed into a period of extreme political and economic troubles. We want to increase everyone's awareness and show them how to weather the storm. We are going to begin including articles and videos on prepping (food, water, shelter, medicine, self-defense,) basic economics and general SHTF lifestyle changes.

I am not going to be critical of 19th ward politicians. They tend to do the best job they can with very limited resources, and don't need to be beaten up. In fact, people should be helping them as they are among the last "normal" leaders in Illinois.

I am keeping the 19th Ward Chicago name because of the rich blog history going back to 2010 and because there is a ready-made base of similar-thinking readers. For now on, the 19th Ward of Chicago will be mainly a point of reference, an observation deck if you will. A place where allot of good-natured, normal-thinking people still live and can safely view the dysfunction overtaking America. Write whatever you want about whatever or whomever you want. Just keep it true and not vulgar.

At all times, we am going to comply with Blogspot's community standards. We have seen what happens when there is not such compliance.

We will never publish threats of physical violence or baseless attacks on people or institutions.
