Forbes Article on the impact of professors

Great Forbes article on the impact instructors have on their students. From the article:

"It turns out that exposure to economics makes a big difference in how students split the pie, in terms of both efficiency and outright selfishness. Students assigned to classes taught by economists were more likely to give a lot when it was cheap to do so. But they were also much more likely to take the whole pie for themselves."

Hat tip to Greg Mankiw.
