First of all, if you order this book from , make sure you're ordering from the page that has a color picture on it, the one with a blue globe in someone's hand. If you order it from a page with "no picture available," you might end up getting a publisher's correction copy (believe it or not), as I and at least a couple of other users did. But in my case everything turned out all right: gave me a refund without asking for the book back, and the author assured me that pretty much nothing had changed between the draft I had and the final published version.As for the text itself: Both of the authors are economics luminaries at George Mason University, whose econ program is considered one of the best in the country. The first listed author, Tyler Cowen, is a popular blogger and author. He keeps a very well-regarded blog, Marginal Revolution, and has written such popular books as Discover Your Inner Economist: Use Incentives to Fall in Love, Survive Your Next Meeting, and Motivate Your Dentist and Create Your Own Economy: The Path to Prosperity in a Disordered World.I enjoyed both of those books immensely, but this outing is a different beast, an attempt to break into the tight but potentially lucrative market of a standard freshman-level economics textbook.So what's different from this book?
