Sargent as well as Sims

There is a nice profile of the novel Nobelists inwards today's NY Times.  Here is an excerpt for my regular army of ec x education fellows (and for teachers of introductory economic science everywhere):

Economics, rather than politics, became his life’s run partly because of an inspiring education assistant named Jerry Kenley. Fifty years later, sitting inwards his purpose at N.Y.U., Mr. Sargent remembers his former T.A.  

“Jerry liked to say, ‘Economics is organized mutual sense.’ I all the same mean value that’s near right,” Mr. Sargent says. Those early on classes touched on everything from farm subsidies to taxation. “Wow, it actually got me going,” he says.
