Thank you professor. Your contributions, especially on the roots of inequality in the banking system and in property ownership, were essential to telling the story of unequal access to banking services today.

ChatGPT is not ‘artificial intelligence.’ It’s theft.

Calling programs like ChatGPT “artificial intelligence” grants them a claim to authorship that is simply untrue.

This is tough. Rodney Andrews was a beacon of economics. His sage advice, humor, and intellect left him without a peer. There isn't an idea I've had that I did not discuss with him first. Most important, he was my dear friend. I was so proud of him. I am devastated. @Rodprime
