Profile
benjamin thomas barker, a phd student who wrote 7 separate papers for his masters on microeconomic theory. pulled into the cea via a recommendation from his current professor, who was invited but had to decline due to his health. his professor is a monetarist, but he's a keynesian, so he can argue both sides. he got a scholarship to harvard through the wife of this professor, who is a regular at his parents' hair salon. his professor calls him "B2B" and sometimes "Bob" (referring to the now-defunct bureau of the budget) as a joke.
