<p>In regards to 4th Floor’s question/comment, I think that the hiring of Sachs was great considering what he does for the Earth Institute and recent activity on campus (i.e. the talk with Angelina Jolie). </p>
<p>I tend to agree more with Stiglitz and regard his work higher than Baghwati from reading both of their works but overall, these <em>star</em> professors are in fact, famous for their findings and researches, not for their style of teaching. Therefore, I feel that this adds to the experience for undergrads but it’s not necessarily a very influential factor for undergrad experience in a department as big as economics.</p>
