I learned from Don Boudreaux this morning that Walter Williams died either this morning or last night. For those of you who don’t know, he was a long-time economics professor at George Mason University.
I’ll have more to say later but I want to give one appreciation.
Walter liked smoking and he also hated the TSA. Some years ago, the combination of no-smoking regs on planes and intrusive groping by the TSA caused him to vow never to fly by commercial airline again. When he received offers to give speeches that were far enough away that driving was infeasible, he negotiated for a private airplane to take him there.

A great economist. Too bad he was white or what he had to say may have gotten the attention it deserved.
To: Wiz-Nerd
His wisdom will be missed.

His economic philosophy was based on the reality that ideologies and wishful thinking do not and can not alter human nature.

Alas....... he was one of the truly wise ones. His well reasoned wisdom places all the BLM claptrap under the shadow of intellectual darkness.

Yes, he substituted for Rush quite a bit back in the 1990's and early 2000's. Otherwise, most of us would never have heard of him.
RIP, good sir.

A great loss. I loved it when he guest hosted for Rush.

I remember when he used to fill in for Rush many years ago.
Very smart and funny man. Full of wisdom.
