A lot of Austrian economists are to be found, not on campus, but on
Wall St. making money with investments, Alan Greenspan formerly being
an example. Peter Schiff is another. Walter Block, at Loyola
University in New Orleans, is an excellent counter example.

Just to clarify, are you suggesting that Chicagoans aren't real
economists? Or BYU economics profs?
