About Me
- Randall Parker
- I am a Professor of Economics at East Carolina University in Greenville, NC. My research focuses on macroeconomics and economic history in general and the economics of the Great Depression in particular. I have authored two books, Reflections on the Great Depression and The Economics of the Great Depression: A Twenty-First Century Look Back at the Economics of the Interwar Era and edited The Seminal Works of the Great Depression. I am currently working on my fourth book Interwar Historical Antecedents of Modern Inflation Targeting and I am the co-editor (with Robert Whaples) of The Handbook of Major Events in Economic History and The Handbook of Modern Economic History. I have also traveled the country giving speeches on the state of the macroeconomy and other economic issues to many trade and business associations. When I am not thinking about the economy I am either chasing ducks, handicapping horses or arranging a fine dining experience. Lastly, the opinions expressed on this blog are mine alone and do not reflect upon East Carolina University in any way or manner, in whole or in part, now and forever more under the canopy of heaven.

Wow, great post. I knew that your blog would be an accurate display of your arrogant, smug, pretentious, haughty, conceited, vain, imperious, and supercilious demeanor.
Did you just get a new dictionary for your birthday? Please see my posting regarding what Dick Cheney said to Pat Leahy.
Dr P- Congrats on your success! To my knowledge your life has been dedicated to teaching young people the ways of the economic world and you have made a real difference in my life. Mentors like you have made it possible for scores people like me to experience professional successes. Thank you.
Dr. Parker,
What kind of advice did you lay out for the popular governor from S.C.?
I have not seen the constraints the Feds are putting on the stimulous money thouroughly described, but if it is anything like the TARP money- he is right in running away from it.
Dear David: I don't kiss and tell. That is what makes me the hottest lover in Greenville.
