Cliff sent me Andrew Pessin’s “Twitter Tour of Western Philosophy.” Samples: “Socrates: Drinking hemlock; toes tingling; legs getting numb. Maybe unexamined life worth living? Guard!” “Plato: Symposium 2nite 7pm, @ The Cave. Open mike, open bar. Under 21 admitted free.” “Schopenhauer: All is empty, pointless. Deep, dark despair. Could use snack.” So, what would the great economists and management scholars have said in 140 characters or less?
Hayek: @maynard: Demand 4 commodities not demand 4 labor. Come on, dude!
Porter: Got 4 forces now; need ideas for 5th.
Williamson: Anybody out there want to transact? No hazards pls.
Help me out here.
