Summary/Abstract: When I arrived at the College of the Holy Cross in Fall 1993, I was intent on pursuing studies in political science. But by the end of my sophomore year, I knew that my future was in economics, not only in terms of majoring but also in pursuing graduate studies afterwards. Among many wonderful professors, I owe two particular thanks for my change in academic paths: Walter Block and Nick Sanchez. While the latter first introduced me to economics – and can be greatly credited with convincing me that the economic way of thinking was indispensable – Walter showed me that scholarly debate in economics could be a lively, thrilling, and rewarding endeavor.
