| 2020-12-02 |
| [NationalReview] The great economist and freedom fighter Walter Williams has died. This is an incredibly sad news. Walter was a great communicator of ideas and a prolific, provocative and uncompromising writer. He was the John M. Olin distinguished professor of economics at George Mason University. His voice, his happy-warrior demeanor, his cosmopolitan views, his endless fight on behalf of those with no political voices, and his generosity to all of us at Mason will be missed. Links to more encomiums and obituaries of the great man at the link. His Wikipedia page is here, which puts his age at 84. A search of Rantburg’s archives reveals he appeared in twelve articles as either Walter Williams or Walter E. Williams. The most recent three of each are more quickly available below. |
