With the economy still slow to recover some people might not find money to be a laughing matter, but Yoram Bauman finds plenty to joke about in his presentation as the “Stand-Up Economist.” Bauman will be our speaker on December 2.

Described by The New York Times as “an economist who teaches at the University of Washington and performs stand-up comedy”, Yoram Bauman performs as “the world’s first and only stand-up economist” at venues ranging from the New York Improv to the American Association for the Advancement of Science’s annual meeting, and also on YouTube, where his videos have had over 500,000 hits.

Society Members will want to bring a guest.
