"If you think all economists are boring you have never had an encounter with Deirdre McCloskey.
"She was once a Marxist but now advocates free markets. She was raised in the American midwest but loves cricket. She was agnostic but converted to Christianity. She was a man ''with guy loves and passions'' but changed gender at the age of 53."
