"... Daniel J. Smith is an assistant professor of economics at the Johnson Center at Troy University ..."

Wikipedia: "Troy University’s Manuel H. Johnson Center for Political Economy was formed in September as the result of a $3.6 million gift from Troy alumnus Dr. Manuel H. Johnson, BB&T and the Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation."
