    RIP Maxine Udall, Girl Economist

    By DF on Wed, 01/26/2011 - 6:02pm | Personal

    Via Mark Thoma, I have learned that Maxine Udall, Girl Economist, (born Alison Snow Jones) has passed away.

    She was one of my favorite people in the econ blogosphere because she combined very sharp economic accumen with deep thinking about the moral implications of economic policy.  Really, the best kind of economist.

    She was a contributor to TPM Cafe and was linked to by Paul Krugman on a number of occasions.

    I am sure she was many more things, but this was how I knew her.

    She will be missed.

    Edit to add: The more notices, the better; that her survivors know how much she was appreciated.

    My goodness. She was one of the first people I followed at TPM. Wise words, that stuck in my mind. Thanks for sharing this.

    Blessed Be, Maxine.
