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.

I am a history major here at Cal and I also play rugby here at the university and I look forward to the interdisciplinary nature of this class.

My name is Breana Pennington and I'm a senior. I am majoring in PEIS and I love it! For those of you who have not taken PEIS 100 I would suggest reading Adam's Fallacy by Duncan K. Foley. It gives a brief summary of the key ideas of the "main players" in political economy. It is great at simplifying some extremely complex topics.
