This article was written by Gregory Mankiw, a longtime professor of Economics at Harvard and a leading thinker in Economics education. His book, Principles of Economics is used by universities around the nation for their introductory economics courses (including my Principles of Microeconomics class last year).
His article is an opinion related to the Occupy movement and a mini OWS protest staged by students in one of his harvard economics classes. Many of his students notified him they were walking out of his class to show protests against what they called the "corruption of higher education" and the " biased nature of Economics" that contributes to the economic inequality in America.
Mankiw's thoughts can be found in the link below.
