I’m just a truck wreck lawyer in Georgia, and it’s been about 35 years since my last economics class.  Therefore, I was pleasantly surprised today when I learned that my blog post about  Implications of the economic crisis for trucking and insurance  was cited as one of  the best legal blog posts expressing  insight on the ongoing economic calamity. My econ profs at Furman way back when would be surprised.
