Thank you for this. Conducting that interview with Steve was an overwhelming experience. Trevor and me trying not to just sit there weeping, while in awe of the kind of man Steve was and the honor of knowing him as a friend. He was an inspiration.
I had no idea that Steve had passed... I met him once at a conference probably 10 years ago when I was in college. He was my favorite lecturer there, started following him online after that. One of the most sincere and thoughtful people I’ve ever heard.
Thank you. Steve and I were close friends for almost 40 years. I miss him dearly. Steve was a teacher, scholar and academic entrepreneur of great skill. But while I miss our professional collaborations and engagements what I miss most is his joyful sense of life and his laughter. We laughed a lot through the years.
I still miss Steve even though we never met IRL. Corresponded with him on and off on Facebook (and by weird coincidence have known his father for years before I knew Steve, and still keep up with Ron). He would be even more horrified by the state of the libertarian movement today than he was before we lost him. I am now very hesitant to call myself a 'libertarian' because it's so far from Steve's vision of the idea.

Every day, I try to live my life with Steve's ability to see miracles in the mundane. He brought such joy to my life.

I learned a lot from Steve's books, in particular, Monetary Evolution..., and Microfoundations and Macroeconomics, as well as his short form writing.
