I woke up early this morning — though perhaps not as early as Bob Hall & Mike Woodford—so that I could explain to the historical context of their Nobel, the work that won the prize, their contributions to the world, and who they are.

The video tells the full story, but for now, let me just say that this is an absolutely splendid prize for two fantastic economists who both made important research contributions, while also being insightful policy wonks, thoughtful mentors, fearless intellectual leaders, and damn good blokes.
