Harvard Economics Professor Greg Mankiw recently linked to the Tuck Profit article on Ken French. (Incidentally, that article has been viewed more than all the other pages on the site, combined. ) We saw a HUGE spike in hits over the next few days. The comments on his blog post are hilarious…a must read.
