For starters, when I added it as “consuming”, AllConsuming assigned a date a week in the past. Very odd. Second, I have to stop reading it and return it to the library while I’m in Japan.

Very enjoyable. Starts with basic examples explaining how the value of a resource changes depending on the availability of comparable resources and moves on to describe externalities and comparative advantage. I especially enjoyed the sections on US Healthcare and China’s recent growth.
Not the best “economics for laypeople” book I’ve read, as the style wasn’t quite as engaging as that in Freakonimcs, but well worth your time. Then again, maybe I would’ve enjoyed it more if I hadn’t put it down for 3 weeks while on vacation…
