Johan Fourie is professor of Economics at Stellenbosch University.
I teach economic history to undergraduate and graduate students and writes frequently on the topic, either by contributing to research or for a more popular audience, as columnist and blogger.
My greatest wish is to be cited in a Nobel lecture, preferably by one of my students.
