More crazy Hahn stories

Dasgupta defended his Cambridge thesis the day before his wedding, Hahn was external examiner

Hahn said he got a proof wrong

Dasgupta found *Hahn's* proof was wrong, rushed to his home hours before his wedding to settle the matter

Hahn: "you must learn that Uncle is never wrong"

Dasgupta: I didn't wish to dispute this, I was going to be late for my wedding

I made a short list of historical anniversaries of authors and works related to #economics that we'll celebrate in 2023. No purpose intended, just for fun. Of course, it is far from complete. 

It starts with the most important date: the 300th anniversary of Adam Smith's birth. 

The other anniversaries are listed here: https://meugabinetedecuriosidades.blogspot.com/2023/01/some-historical-anniversaries-of.html

I tend towards read-only mode on social media but maybe this will be the place where I engage!
