It really is the Anderson School of Management. The name used to be, awkwardly, Schools of Management, referring to the undergraduate school and the graduate school. The school is benefitting from architectural creativity rarely seen in the public sector except, perhaps the building of trophy museums such as in downtown Denver. The building immediately west of Anderson's 1970s home houses the Parrish business library on the first floor and was built with the second floor cantilevered toward the east. Someone got the bright idea of wrapping glass around the space below the cantilever and creating a student lounge. And so they did.
Yesterday a planned series of business to business presentations debuted with Allen Parkman, Anderson professor emeritus of economics, discussing his newest book, "Smart Marriage." About 20 years ago Parkman added a law degree to his Ph.D. union card and since then has focused on law and economics with special emphasis on analysis of marriage.
The law gives us the rules, Parkman says. Economics tell us how people play.
Parkman is a footnote in New Mexico politics. In 1988 he ran as a libertarian in the race for congress that was won by the late Steve Schiff over Tom Udall.
