“The prudent man always studies seriously and earnestly to understand whatever he professes to understand, and not merely to persuade other people that he understands it; and though his talents may not always be very brilliant, they are always perfectly genuine.” – Adam Smith, Theory of Moral Sentiments

About Economics

“The ideas of economists and economic philosophers, both when they are right and wrong, are more powerful than is commonly understood.  Indeed the world is ruled by little else.  Practical men, who believe themselves to be exempt from any intellectual influences, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist.” - John Maynard Keynes.

When not working for the University, Tim spends virtually all of his free time chasing his kids, Jack and Elsa.
