I swear I did! He gave me a paper on human capital. I’ll look at the title when I get home. I told him that I was from California and he said that he is visiting the Hoover Institute in the coming weeks. I went to Steven Levitt’s office toobut I guess he is not teaching this semester.

I basically just decided that I may never get another chance to meet Gary Becker and it was worth the risk and nervousness. His office was amazing. Three huge desks covered in letters and papers. Two huge bookshelves and a three sided picture window overlooking a courtyard. I urge anyone who wants to meet him just to ask. He was sooo nice about it.
