“Monty Pelerin” is a pseudonym derived from The Mont Pelerin Society. My website is www.economicnoise.com
My
background includes corporate and academic endeavors. I performed
mostly as Chief Financial Officer for several companies. Academically,
I have advanced degrees in both Finance and Economics, including the
terminal PhD degree. My academic training included in-depth exposure to
both Keynesian and Monetarist economics. I have taught Finance and
Economics at the graduate level. Real world experience led me to
Austrian Economics, which I have studied for the past quarter century.
This branch of economics, in my opinion, best represents how people and
economies behave. Its neglect by policy makers is a chief reason for
our economic problems, and why most policy responses are harmful rather
than helpful.
I
am retired and have time to share my views on society. I am open to any
suggestions as to how to do so, and what people would most like to see
and discuss. It is my first attempt at blogging.
