I would also like to thank Prof. Radzicki for advising me and hiring me to create and manage media for WPI System Dynamics. Check out the links below for the first SD paper Prof. Radzicki wrote and the Feedback Economics book. Stay tuned for Prof. Radzicki’s book chapter. We also provided a link to a short YouTube video with extra material from the interview. Now, as with the custom of SD-cast, here is a poem I wrote about Prof. Radzicki
No need for an extra mic
You can hear him loud and clear
Never fear, for Mike is here
To teach you martial arts
Or about René Descartes
He is an economist
And wants you to get the bang for your buck
Whether that is college or a truck
Let's be honest and transparent
And help teach and mentor
To fix structure that is errant
