Henry C SSimons spent almost his entire career at the University of Chicago. A student of Frank H. Knight he was a foundational figure in the development of the Chicago School of economics. He is best known for A Positive Program for Laissez Faire 1934. "In Economic Policy for a Free Society Simons claimed that all it takes to precipitate a massive liquidation of securities is "a relatively small decline of security values" Simons 1948. Simons is emphatic in pointing out that corporations that traded on a "shoestring of equity and under a mass of current liabilities" are "placing their working capital precariously on call" and hence at risk in the event of the slightest financial disturbance Simons 1948. This is precisely the chain of events predicted by Simons in the event of a large-scale liquidation of inflated securities such as mortgage loans in 2008 'sub-prime crash.'."New World Encyclopedia.

1834Best.-Nr. 23028Charleston: Printed by A.E. Miller 1834. 30pp stitched untrimmed. Very Good. This pamphlet explains the controversy between South Carolina's Medical Society and its Medical College. The Medical Society created the Medical College in the 1820s. Dickson a physician helped to found the College; Simons a leader of the Medical Society would exercise control over the College. The College faculty including Dickson was unhappy with Society rule and resigned in 1832. The parting was unpleasant; competing pamphlets issued on the contentious issues this one accusing Dickson of "sarcastic taunts and angry vituperations." The departed faculty would open another medical school. Unable to compete the Medical Society would relinquish its control in 1839 and the two medical schools merged. II Turnbull 331.
