Professor Mark J. Perry's Blog for Economics and Finance
National Public Radio -- At Ohio's Oberlin College, registration in undergrad economics classes is up 25% this year, and the chair of the department says he's never seen anything like it. Host Robert Smith finds a similar surge in the classrooms of American University and across the country. So is undergraduate economics getting sexier? In a word: yes.
Dr. Mark J. Perry is a professor of economics and finance in the School of Management at the Flint campus of the University of Michigan. Perry holds two graduate degrees in economics (M.A. and Ph.D.) from George Mason University near Washington, D.C. In addition, he holds an MBA degree in finance from the Curtis L. Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota.

On the face of it, seems wonderful, a first step on the road towards ending economic illiteracy. But, based on the economics taught at most colleges, will probably do more harm than good.
