In Memoriam: Aaron Director
The WaPost has published a fascinating obituary of economist Aaron Director, who died at 102. Although he didn't publish lots of articles, Director had enormous influence on his students and colleagues and is often considered the pivotal figure in the Chicago School--though his brother-in-law, Milton Friedman, is, of course, its most famous representative. (Via Pejmanesque.) The University of Chicago's fuller obit--minus the fun stuff about Mark Rothko--is here.
