Editorial : “Economics Rules, by one of the world's truly great economists, describes in fascinating and incredibly well-written detail what it means to be an economist. In so doing it explains why, and when, economists often get it right, but also why they also frequently go astray.” (George Akerlof, Nobel laureate in economics)
“The best economists make the best methodologists, and Dani Rodrik is both. His Economics Rules is the single best source for explaining the strengths and weaknesses of economics to an outside audience.” (Tyler Cowen, George Mason University, author of The Great Stagnation)

Ron weaves history, culture, and even politics (yes, strange as it may seem this story is rife with politics and the 19th century version of political correctness!) into a well crafted narrative that is difficult to put down once you start. Bought this for a gift,,,he likes I very much. Amy does a fabulous job of self-help for those with chronic pelvic pain. They used to call them `programmed textbooks' when I was in school: logically-defined levels that build and refine skills gradually, clear chapter objectives, plenty of summary and review points along with ample, focused exercises that reinforce you've just read.
Throughout the book, Gindis stresses the practical with a point of view that might be called the `95/5 Rule' as in, `95% percent of yo
