An Economic Romance
A Washington DC high school teacher argues economics and philosophy with his English-teaching colleague. Topics include consumer protection, welfare and charity, outsourcing, paternalism, corporate responsibility, and the role of competition in a modern economy.
Russ Roberts's second novel, it is a romance, but PG at best.
“A page-turning, well-written love story that also teaches an impressive amount of good economics.”
Milton Friedman, Nobel laureate in Economics“Radical economic ideas delivered as marvelously inventive fiction. There is actually a love story, but it's capitalism that charms you breathless.”
