Russ,
Your new book sounds intriguing. I have your other books and enjoyed both of them and looking forward in reading this one too.
Thx,
Rudy Schober
I just finished reading the book and enjoyed every minute of it. I was fascinated by the emergent order explanation of prices. As Russ says in the back of the book, emergent order is consistent with religious beliefs and also with atheism. This is a terrific book for beginners, and probably for old-timers, too. I'm glad he gives advice on further readings. Amazon is getting rich off me.
Thanks, can't wait to read it all!
Do we get a new chapter every week?
I finally got my copy the other day! Should be required reading for Muirgeo and Co., I certainly will be giving copies away to colleagues and such.
Muirgeo wouldn't them double their prices! She would get the government to legislate against shortages, and profits, and earthquakes, too!
2 Questions for Russ:
1. Did you know that the publisher would make the first chapter freely available for promotional purposes?
2. If yes to #1, did that change the way you wrote the first chapter?
Just curious.

I have no doubt that your colleagues will benefit from the book. Muirdiot, on the other hand, reads Hayek and Friedman and thinks he's reading Marx and Keynes. Lost cause.
I can't wait to read it.
