Abstract

R. Morris Coats, late Professor of Economics and Argent Bank Professor of Business Administration (2000–2006) at Nicholls State University, was a prolific scholar in the area of public (choice) economics. The present memoriam piece contends that he was a highly significant figure among the “second wave” of public choice scholars.

By 1991, Dr. Johnson’s class notes for our class were largely incorporated into a textbook (Johnson 1991). Following the fall of the Berlin Wall, this book became a popular textbook in former communist nations.

The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire was published in six volumes beginning in 1776 and ending in 1788. http://www.britannica.com/biography/Edward-Gibbon.

Named after the French economist, journalist, and legislator: Claude Frédéric Bastiat, (1801–1850). Bastiat was a follower of Adam Smith and a great story teller, who penned the satirical, Petition of the Candlemakers.
