As did I. Memorable indeed. IIRC, he was pretty much a socialist, but intriguing.

I enjoyed my class with Gurley and will always remember that he assigned a traditional neoclassical economics textbook as well as a Marxist textbook. He wanted us to be exposed to both sides. Sadly, the class was at 8am in Dink, and they turned the lights down low, and half the class snoozed. His laugh line on day one was "Welcome to Commun....Econ 101."

I took nearly all of his undergraduate level classes and enjoyed them tremendously. He was my favorite professor during my undergraduate years. He presented issues in a manner that guided the student to consider the human impact of economic policies in addition to the to the more analytical aspects of the subject. In reading the highlighted article, I was struck by the fact that Professor Gurley also wrote "Challenges to Communism", of which I was unaware. I will be greatly interested in reading that. He had a significant impact on my thinking at a critical time in my life and I am grateful for his intellectual integrity.
