I’ll be doing the first post on Greg Clark’s A Farewell to Alms this Tuesday, try to read the first 112 pages.  In the meantime, here is a review from The Economist.

Hmm, I don’t think it will have arrived by then. Oh well, so much for that.

The book is all over by now and when I asked pretty much everyone reported getting their copies…

I am not (necessarily) asking this sarcastically – but do a lot of people not live near bookstores? That’s where I got mine…

For those who haven’t received the book- the first part of the book is available online.

Harkening back to the Bin Laden post, are there a few titles that can help a layman dispel some of his false positive
beliefs about how the world works? Either a readable textbook or a popular title that aims to give both a macro and micro
overview?

I find things like this blog fascinating, and have enjoyed some popular books. But the technical stuff here loses me. I know
cannot Wikipedia myself up to PhD or working-world economist standards, but I’d love to have enough background that I could at
least understand the explanations for the three principles/theories listed in Bin Laden post. Any suggestions would be
appreciated.

Thanks
