Happy 5th Birthday Carpe Diem!

Carpe Diem started five years ago on September 20, 2006.  Here's a link to CD post #1 (this current post is #8,254), which features a quote in the WSJ from Warren Buffett - not about taxes, but about whether business degrees from Ivy League universities matter for success in the business world (answer: No).  

Thanks for your readership and support!  And special thanks go to: a) Professor Lee Coppock at the University of Virginia for his initial encouragement to start an economics blog, b) Mike "Eagle-Eye" Carlson for his voluntary copy-editing support, and c) Ben Cunningham for his ongoing research support!
