Mises Institute adjunct scholar Terry Ridgway passed away on March 13th. Professor Ridgway taught economics at UNLV for 30 years. Although I never had Ridgway as an instructor, my thesis chairman Murray Rothbard suggested that I select Prof. Ridgway to be the third member of my committee from the economics department. Hans Hoppe was the second.
As his obituary states, Ridgway “was a very kind and charitable man.” I remember him as being very easy to get along with, very fond of Murray, and while not necessarily Austrian, certainly a free-market guy.
RIP Professor Ridgway.
