The Ha
rvard Crimson has a story today about the Hirschman prize, the first of which was recently announced by the Social Sciences Research Council. The prize recognizes "outstanding contributions to international, interdisciplinary social science research, theory, and public communication, in the tradition of Albert Hirschman." The official SSRC announcement is here. It is a pity that today's graduate students in economics do not read Hirschman much--he is one of the most original and creative minds of the century. I won't tell you who the recipient is, except to say that I do not agree with everythng he has written.

Try "Exit, Voice, Loyalty."

Congratulations, Prof. Rodrik! It's about time an award is named after Hirschman. As a grad student who aspires to do IPE, albeit in the wrong department currently, I thoroughly enjoyed "Exit, Voice, and Loyalty" when I had to read it for class. You can practically use that mantra for any form of social interaction! I went so far as to check out Hirschman's other writings from the library - "The Rhetoric of Reaction" and "The Passion and the Interests".
And I'm glad you, Prof. Rodrik, started a blog - now I can check you off on my list of academics I hope starts a blog; and bookmark this site for daily reading, like Greg's!
