I gravitated to economics because I'm interested in how people coordinate and collaborate with each other. Economics studies all the ways people get along with each other.

A lot of my colleagues have been people with broad interests in economics, not just narrowly focused interests.

In this age of specialization, I sometimes think of myself as the last 'generalist' in economics, with interests that range from mathematical economics down to current financial journalism. My real interests are research and teaching.

Economic chasm between people is something that is of interest to me. And something that I used to write about even as a child. It's something I've revisited a few times in my writings.

That subject has lost its one time appeal to economists as our science has become more abstract, but my interest has even grown more intense as the questions raised by the sociology of science became more prominent.

Economics is a strange science. Our subject deals with some of the most important as well as mundane issues that impinge on the human condition.

I went into the sciences very early on, but to me, economics pervades so much more of our lives and our existence.

I think economics - and this is what I've tried to impart - has a tremendous amount of human interest in it.

The professional study of economics has become ideological brainwashing. It is a defense of the excesses of the capitalist system.

I am aiming my books at anybody with no economics background.
