“Monty Pelerin” is a pseudonym derived from The Mont Pelerin Society. My website is www.economicnoise.com

My background includes corporate and academic endeavors. I performed mostly as Chief Financial Officer for several companies. Academically, I have advanced degrees in both Finance and Economics, including the terminal PhD degree. My academic training included in-depth exposure to both Keynesian and Monetarist economics. I have taught Finance and Economics at the graduate level. Real world experience led me to Austrian Economics, which I have studied for the past quarter century. This branch of economics, in my opinion, best represents how people and economies behave. Its neglect by policy makers is a chief reason for our economic problems, and why most policy responses are harmful rather than helpful.

I am retired and have time to share my views on society. I am open to any suggestions as to how to do so, and what people would most like to see and discuss. It is my first attempt at blogging.
