Sad news.

Professor John Munro, who has written an immense amount of publications about economy, with lots and lots about the importance of textiles in economy, has passed away on December 23, 2013.

Here is his obituary from the University of Toronto; here is his life story. He was a very interesting man for sure, and I'm sad that I never got to meet him.

I hope that the university will keep his homepage accessible; there are links and downloads to many of his papers, working papers, and course notes available on the page, and I've found a lot of things of interest there.
