Seller's Description:
Very Good in Very Good jacket. 5.75 x 8.75. Large remainder mark on top edge, x + 230 pages including appendix and index, compares parental teachings of ethics such as sharing and fairness to teachings of economists on the same issues.
From the outset, the author provides us with his approach, which is based on the world of his nine-year-old daughter, who: ?strove from infancy to focus my attention on certain principles of applied economics, beginning with the importance of material comfort. Cayley and I have been teaching economics to each other ever since.? From her world he uses simple analogies to convey economic insights. This could just as well be placed in a bookstore under the section designated ?Parenting,? for it recognizes that today?s lessons will yield dividends through higher future wages or a more fulfilling life for her, which is now critical in a society where future opportunity is seized not by brawn but with brains. In an economic chess tournament, the politicians would probably win, but Landsburg would be awarded the brilliancy prize.
