Sung
Tzu-Wen
This is the home page of Dr. Sung Tzu-Wen. Not the founder of the Central Bank of China and the former Chinese Prime Minister Sung Tzu-Wen (Soong Tse-Ven) or the famous Taiwanese cram school teacher Sung Tzu-Wen but the “reinventing-the-wheel” economist Sung Tzu-Wen.
My favorite quote is this one from David D. Friedman, “The principal effect of economic analysis is to change not the conclusions but the arguments—for both sides of any controversial issue.”
