Giving Thanks
Posted by Erik Gerding

My time at the Glom is drawing to a close. So to mark the coming week and to mix the sublime and the ridiculous (as in my wont), I'd thought I'd give a list of some of the things I am thankful for this year (at least those not-too-personal things that seem to fit in the 4 themes of this blog listed on the masthead):

1. Business (to the extent the private sector still exists): The Frontier (where to have breakfast in Albuquerque).

2. Law (to the extent it isn't just what we ate for breakfast): the lawyers who work hard to make sure we respond to crises (political and economic) without devouring law; senior scholars who take an interest in developing junior scholars; Todd Rakoff; those of my students who are still interested in Business Associations and Contracts this late in the semester; Debbie Anker.

3. Economics (to the extent it still works): an explanation of the leverage cycle (hat tip to Margaret Blair); really good articles on the economics of structured finance; research on decision-making under uncertainty not just risk.

4. Society (to the extent Maggie Thatcher is wrong and it is real): the best part of the birdsstuffing; sauce; and cake; washed down with either a martini or Canada dry.
