I am pleased to announce that I now have a book contract with Dutton/Penguin. I have a wonderful editor, Jeff Galas, and of course I have already started the work. A few bits of the book will look familiar to MR readers, but there will be plenty of new material as well. Of course you haven’t read it, but I am nonetheless keen to take title suggestions, either in the comments or through email. If I use your title idea or any close derivative thereof, I will send you something valuable (seriously), of my choosing.
Quirkonomics – A Blogging Economist Explores the Other Side of Everything, by Tyler Cowen – Dutton/Penguin, 2007
Congrats!
“This margin is too narrow to contain”
What about the now famous “Markets in Everything”?
I was going to suggest the famed “Markets in Everything,” but ds Vasques and Mikey G have beat me to it.
“Just Try the Chili Chicken: Sampling Life with Tyler Cowen”
“Writing on the Margin”
I am feeling particularly uninspired this morning, so I am afraid mine will be entires in what not to name your book:
1. Ecowenomics!
2. Revolution of the Marginal
3. “PayDay”, “Zero”, or “Take Five”, etc. (a real stretch) (http://www.hersheys.com/products/sugar.asp)
Piggybacking on the above–
Don’t Steal this Book!
Markets in Everything
In the kitchen with Tyler
Culturenomics
Foodienomics
Marginal Evolution
Strip Mall Chinese (and the Decline of French bread)
Mall Food Sucks
Race to the Top
“Claims my Russian Wife Laughs At”
Economists have guts: Tyler Cowen’s Ethnical Food Guide
or something similar
“Great food & interesting places – Markets in everything and everywhere”
or “TC+AT=MR – the age of blogonomics”

Because of the current public interest in economics, your title should have some deriviative of ‘economics’ in it.
Might I suggest:
Love in the 21st Century: An Economist’s View
(I can guarantee whoever writes that above title will make a killing)
Assume I Have a Spatula: The Economics of Everyday Life
or it you don’t want to use economics:
Marginal Revolution, or how I learned to stop worrying and love the Almighty Dollar
Just kidding.
“Yes, but how many of those are chicken ice cream? The life and times of George Akerlof.” If you aren’t planning his biography, however, another title may be in order.
Spooky Spiders by Tyler Cowen.
Wait, what kinda book is this?
Marginally Amusing
On Battlestar, Barbeque and Amate Painting: a Book by Tyler Cowen
Meet Me at the Track: The Life & Times of a Degenerate Horse Gambler
My Model is 7: A Refutation of the CAPM Pricing Model
Book on the Margin
Woman on the Edge of a Nervous Breakdown
This Book’s Title Would Be Better If I Knew What It Was About
“Econ? Oh, my!”
Economists who say ni
too late?
