This date, May 8, is a holiday of sorts at O&M and certainly in the field of Austrian economics. As Peter is traveling today and has thus far not taken the opportunity to remind us of the day’s significance, I simply refer you to one of Peter’s earlier posts and wish you (and Peter) a Happy Hayek-Klein Day.

Thanks Mike. I have been in the Washington, DC area. This morning I visited a friend and presented a research paper at the Fed Board of Governors. As my friend and I were waiting to catch an elevator, who should walk up but Ben Bernanke himself (accompanied by one bodyguard). My friend introduced us and said it was remarkable that I was giving a seminar on my birthday. I then asked the Chairman if he would sing me Happy Birthday, which he did (only one stanza, though, and without much enthusiasm). I wish I’d thought to say “It’s also the birthday of F. A. Hayek, whose works you might consider reading.”

Email Bernanke and tell him.
Many happy returns, Peter!

You asked Ben Bernanke to sing happy birthday to you?

I really did ask him to sing. Believe it or not, he may have a comparative advantage in central banking.
