In Discover Your Inner Economist the economist and blogger Tyler Cowen provides quirky and insightful advice for life based on his signature urbane style of economic reasoning. On his blog, MarginalRevolution.com, Cowen offers economic advice in his periodic "Dear Trudie" posts. Presumably Cowen offers good economics. But dare one take an economist’s advice? Emily Yoffe, author of Slate‘s popular "Dear Prudence" advice column, will advise. Please join us for an advice-off, as Trudie meets Prudie to discuss the practical benefits of economic reasoning (or lack thereof) in everyday life.
That’s this Thursday, noon, at Cato, also webcast live at www.cato.org. To register, visit www.cato.org, e-mail events@cato.org.
Here are my previous Trudie posts.
This was fun. I watched the webcast over an early lunch. I’d say it was a good job by both, although Prudie seemed unexpectedly nervous at the start of her talk.
The opposite of self-deception is self-awareness, with a bit of humility thrown in.
