That is absolutely amazing- thanks for sharing your story. I remember learning about an economist named Walter Oi. He was a Japanese-American who was put in an internment camp during WWII. He later wrote a famous econ paper called "A Disneyland Dilemma" about lump-sum payments to get into the amusement parks coupled with per-ride fees (also about how IBM priced computer time in the 70s): http://people.bath.ac.uk/ecsjgs/Teaching/Industrial%20Organisation/Papers/Oi%20-%20Disneyland%20(1971).pdf http://people.bath.ac.uk/ecsjgs/Teaching/Industrial%20Organi... He also was a big proponent after Vietnam of moving the United States military from the draft to an all-volunteer force. His research was instrumental in making that happen. Overall a very accomplished and impressive individual...Just for extra credit- he was blind. He did math, graphs, charts, and all the rest without being able to see it. I am in awe of people like yourself.
