My Take
Martin Neil Baily commands my respect as a scholar who refused to stay in the abstract. Born in Chicago in 1945, he built his reputation on productivity and competitiveness, then stepped into the Clinton administration, rising from member to chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers. Economists who enter the political arena get caught between theory and grubby reality, and reaching the chair anyway signals real conviction. He has continued writing at think tanks well into later life. I admire academics who keep questioning rather than coasting, and Baily strikes me as exactly that kind of restless mind.
