Mr. Kurtz and his then-wife kept a 6-acre parcel for themselves, where they built a roughly 30,000-square-foot mansion with a 65-foot saltwater pool, tennis court and indoor basketball court. As the home was nearing completion, Mr. Kurtz said they realized it was too big for their needs.

The
Center for the History of Political Economy at Duke University will be hosting
another Summer Institute on the History of Economics this summer from June
20-29, 2022. The program is designed for students in graduate programs in
economics, though students in graduate school in other fields as well as newly
minted PhDs will also be considered.
More information on the Summer Institute is available at this website.
I am the Robert M. Beren Professor of Economics at Harvard University. I use this blog to keep in touch with my current and former students. Teachers and students at other schools, as well as others interested in economic issues, are welcome to use this resource.
