I wrote this note as a way of coping with Perry Mehrling's passing, and hesitated for a while before sharing it. I hope it can find its place in our communion of grief. Here goes:

[Young Scholars Initiative @ysi_commons]

We are deeply saddened to share the news that Perry Mehrling passed away this morning at the age of 67.

Perry was the father of the Young Scholars Initiative. He believed profoundly in young scholars, in their ideas, and in the importance of creating a community in which they could learn from one another and find their own voices.

Perry, you leave an enormous hole in our midst. Our hearts are aching, and we will miss you dearly.

The YSI community will carry your legacy forward. Your ideas, your generosity, and your commitment to generations of young scholars will remain with us.

Thank you for everything, Perry.

Perry Mehrling understood money and banking like no one else.

He liked to write short books, not long ones. "People don't finish reading long books," he would say. He wanted readers to finish his books.

Perry wasn't done. Let's keep it going.

and through which the familiar world of economics looks different, until we can see again where we stand.
