This T-shirt is from the Minnesota Economics Department at the University of Minnesota, where Thomas Sargent worked in the 1970s and 1980s. The image is a paraphrase of Eugène Delacroix’s painting "Liberty Leading the People", which celebrates the July Revolution in France in 1830. Instead of the national motto of France, “Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité” (“Liberté, égalité, fraternité”) it says “Equilîbrité, Optimâlité, Calîbrité”, which is faux-french for “Equilbrium, Optimality, Calibration” – key concepts in econometrics.
Thomas Sargent donated the T-shirt to the Nobel Prize Museum in 2011. - Pristagare
