For Students Who Have Not Taken PE 100...

As many people have pointed out, it is profoundly silly for me to have designed my syllabus for PE 101 assuming that people had taken PE 100 beforehand, when two-thirds of the class has not. Students who haven't taken PE 100 and want to get an idea of what they are missing should read:

Robert Heilbroner, The Worldly Philosophers
Raymond Aron, Main Currents in Sociological Thought I: Montesquieu, Comte, Marx, Tocqueville, and the Sociologists and the Revolution of 1848

And perhaps:

Raymond Aron, Main Currents in Sociological Thought II: Durkheim, Pareto, Weber

Leigh Speakers' Bureau:
The Eighteen-Year-Old is going to college next year, which means that I need to think about making more money. (The idea that one might write checks to rather than receive checks from universities is now strange to me.) So I have signed up with the Leigh Speakers' Bureau which also handles, among many others: Chris Anderson; Suzanne Berger; Michael Boskin; Kenneth Courtis; Clive Crook; Bill Emmott; Robert H. Frank; William Goetzmann; Douglas J. Holtz-Eakin; Paul Krugman; Bill McKibben; Paul Romer; Jeffrey Sachs; Robert Shiller;James Surowiecki; Martin Wolf; Adrian Wooldridge.
