Book Overview

Economists direct their research mainly to the technical frontiers of the discipline. But the actual decisions of political economy are made, not by experts, but by ordinary public officials and voters--the "Everyman." However, the task of educating the Everyman is neglected, sometimes even denigrated, by academic economists. Daniel Klein has here gathered essays of 9 great economists of this century--Friedrich Hayek, Ronald Coase, Thomas Schelling, Gordon Tullock, Israel Kirzner, Frank Graham, William Hutt, Clarence Philbrook, and D. McCloskey--addressing the existential issue for economists: "How do we contribute to human betterment?" The authors express their esteem for economic research firmly rooted in public issues and that contributes to public discourse. Some suggest that the academic focus on technical refinement not only diverts economists from efforts at public edification, but might even mislead economists in their own understanding of economic affairs.

Not Just For Men

I got the book with a friend in mind to give to her husband. I started reading it and flew through. I found Anderson's play by play guide very helpful. The world of cancer is like a dark cave to most people. He walks you through in laymans terms and points out what to expect. I actually was reading this book at a gas station while waiting for my car to be fixed. An older gentleman sitting next to me built up the nerve...

WOW!

I just today received my pre-ordered copy of this book. John Anderson (and his wife Sharon Rapoport) own The Farm, a creative production company with whom I have had the pleasure to work over the past several years. They are incredible people, fun and talented and kind, and the kind of people who have experiences and opportunities that seem like the stuff of dreams. But they've also experienced the other side of the spectrum...
