Dr. Kurt Richebächer, RIP

From Bill Bonner, Paging Doctor Liquidity:

Our old friend Dr. Kurt Richebächer died last week, in Cannes, France. He was 88 years old, and his writings were a staple among many people's required reading list. As Chuck Butler puts it in today's issue of The Daily Pfennig, "Yes, I used to kid about how when you read one of his letters you need to put away all the sharp objects… But he told it like no one else…

"He didn't pull punches, and he was always ahead of all other economists with his thoughts. I will miss his writings… And the world has lost an economist that didn't cower to Washington…"

Dr. Richebächer, R.I.P. (More on the Good Doctor to come…)
