Opponents of The Coordination Problem faced a coordination problem tonight

Unfortunately, the GMU Econ Society volleyball team, The Coordination Problem, was deprived of a game tonight due to their opponents' inability to coordinate enough players to come out to the game. No bargaining was possible - and The Coordination Problem now holds one win under their belt!

Support The Coordination Problem as they take on APO tomorrow night at 9:30pm at the RAC. Come out with an open mind, as our method of destruction will be rather creative.

Edwin Vieira: The Constitutional Path to Monetary Reform

Join the Econ Society in welcoming Constitutional Law Expert Edwin Vieira on Wednesday, November 3rd at 6:00pm in Sub I rooms A-C. Refreshments to be served after the event!

Edwin Vieira, Jr., holds four degrees from Harvard: A.B. (Harvard College), A.M. and Ph.D. (Harvard Graduate School of Arts and Sciences), and J.D. (Harvard Law School).
For more than thirty years he has practiced law, with emphasis on constitutional issues. In the Supreme Court of the United States he successfully argued or briefed the cases leading to the landmark decisions Abood v. Detroit Board of Education, Chicago Teachers Union v. Hudson, and Communications Workers of America v. Beck, which established constitutional and statutory limitations on the uses to which labor unions, in both the private and the public sectors, may apply fees extracted from nonunion workers as a condition of their employment.

He has written numerous monographs and articles in scholarly journals, and lectured throughout the county. His most recent work on money and banking is the two-volume Pieces of Eight: The Monetary Powers and Disabilities of the United States Constitution (2002), the most comprehensive study in existence of American monetary law and history viewed from a constitutional perspective.
