Perry Mehrling died from "injuries sustained in a fall"?! This is just UNBELIEVABLE. Genuinely unfathomable and awful. (and scary, since I write about money and my balance isn't very good)

Very sad to learn that Anwar Shaikh has died at the age of 80. One of the only heterodox economists to offer a synthesised alternative!

RIP Perry Mehrling. I only met him once at an INET workshop where he was sharing his research on Kindleberger. A really great guy--friendly and enthusiastic about everything everyone was working on.

Terribly shocking and sad. Perry interviewed me for my current job a very long time ago and was my colleague and department chair for many years. One of the most original scholars I have known.

Perry was an incredibly inspirational professor and hugely formative in my early years of economics. What a loss.
Perry Mehrling passes away and Lou Crandall retires. Money markets will never be the same.

in shock that Perry Mehrling has died.
He was influential in many ways. my students loved his shadow banking work, clearer than the mainstream stuff.
My contributions on critical macro finance drew on (and often against) the money view.
RIP Perry. Hope there are balance sheets where you went.

I never confronted his view directly and now I'll only be able to argue with his acolytes. All respect to the acolytes but... none of you are Perry Mehrling.

The dam broke so: I'm so shocked to find out that Perry Mehrling died. I had lots of disagreements with Perry but he was always very generous with me & was a big influence on my generation of heterodox monetary thinkers. No one did more to highlight the role of dealers in financial market governance

... I was then trying to catch "worldviews", and I was impressed.
Yesterday, as I was quoting him, Perry Mehrling passed, unexpectedly.
The loss.
So please take any of these books, or the New Lombard Street, and let yourself carry by his unique voice and writing style

What Perry wrote of Kindleberger is equally true of himself. He “was never content just to satisfy his own curiosity. He wanted to tell others so that they could use this new knowledge – indeed, he felt a positive duty to do so”

Perry Mehrling understood money and banking like no one else.
He liked to write short books, not long ones. "People don't finish reading long books," he would say. He wanted readers to finish his books.
Perry wasn't done. Let's keep it going.

I think what's really getting at me is I literally was talking to Ndongo Sylla about coauthoring a paper about the Mehrling view of the international currency hierarchy exactly two weeks ago (like literally September 29th!)

A lot of my disagreements with Perry Mehrling were about the international currency hierarchy. Topics I wanted to eventually cover that would be both expansions and critiques of his work focused on
1) multinational banks as intraday multicurrency clearers & dealers

Such sad news. I had the privilege of meeting Perry Mehrling once through my wife, who used to exchange with him.
A truly great scholar. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family, loved ones, and everyone in my network who had the privilege of knowing him better than I did.
