Witty economists are about as easy to find as anorexic
mezzo-sopranos, natty mujahedeen, and cheerful Philadelphians. But
Steven E. Landsburg...is one economist who fits the bill. In a
wide-ranging, easily digested, unbelievably contrarian survey of
everything from why popcorn at movie houses costs so much to why
recycling may actually reduce the number of trees on the planet,
the University of Rochester professor valiantly turns the
discussion of vexing economic questions into an activity that
ordinary people might enjoy.
-- Joe Queenan, "The Wall Street Journal"
"The Armchair Economist" is a wonderful little book, written by
someone for whom English is a first (and beloved) language, and it
contains not a single graph or equation...Landsburg presents
fascinating concepts in a form easily accessible to
noneconomists.
-- Erik M. Jensen, "The Cleveland Plain Dealer"
...enormous fun from its opening page...Landsburg has done
something extraordinary: He has expounded basic economic principles
with wit and verve.
-- Dan Seligman, "Fortune"
