Economics….Wait, what?!
Let’s face it. Most people, when they hear “Dr. So-and-So: Economist,” instantly start dozing. Dr. Yoram Bauman, however, promises to break this trend. He touts himself as “The World’s First and Only Stand-Up Economist,” and the New York Times backs him up in this claim. They summarize his life as “An economist who teaches at the University of Washington and performs stand-up comedy.” An odd combination to be sure, but Dr. Bauman comes to Birmingham-Southern this Tuesday, April 6, to prove to the world that money can be funny. Come see him perform in Munger auditorium at 7:30pm as he graces BSC with his humor on his tour across America, bringing comedy to economics from California to New York. His blog topics include things from ‘In the news’ to ‘Harry Potter economics,’ and Dr. Bauman is most recently promoting his book “The Cartoon Introduction to Economics, Volume 1: Microeconomics.” With a life-goal of reducing our carbon footprint, I’m sure Dr. Bauman will excel at educating and entertaining the crowd this Tuesday. Come out and prepare for laughter as your brain twists to combine finance and funny.
