Robert H. Frank is the Henrietta Johnson Louis Professor of Management and a Professor of Economics at the Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management at Cornell University. He contributes to the “Economic View” column, which appears every fifth Sunday in The New York Times. Link to his website.
Frank in an interview with Rachel Maddow about the foolishness of Congress not extending unemployment benefits (he appears about half-way through this video clip at 3:33):
I admit that I’ve been one to grapple with separating unemployment extensions from the whole concept of welfare, or to be more accurate, the dysfunction in both systems. Learning the economic views, and simply following the path-of-fact, of when money is reinvested into the struggling economy and when it’s not, is helpful in being more educated about all of this, and hence, more open-minded.

“There’s no story I can tell you, that is as powerful as the story you can tell yourself.”
To help us live within hope today: Celebrate what’s right with the world - Dewitt Jones
“The way it really works, is that I won’t see it until I believe it.”
When we celebrate what’s right in the world, keeping us open to the possibilities, we get the energy to fix what’s wrong.”
