Michael Watts of Purdue University organized this symposium as a session at the 2002 Southern Economic Association Meetings in New Orleans. He invited five economists, who are specialists in economic education and other areas, to comment on William Becker's paper, “How to make economics the sexy social science.” which first appeared in the Chronicle of Higher Education (December 7, 2001). Their comments and Professor Becker's response appear below.
