It’s just out. This is the best popular book explaining the benefits of international trade. Imagine Bastiat for 2008, or a Cajun updating of Henry George’s Protection or Free Trade. Sadly it is expensive but I’d sooner give a student this book than say Henry Hazlitt’s Economics in One Lesson.
As a disclaimer I should add that Don is a colleague and longstanding friend of mine. But I like him (in part) because he writes books like this!
I love, love, love that “the best popular” book on the benefits of “free trade” will get a much-smaller-than-possible audience on account of its frightfully expensive price, a price only possible because of a monopoly provided to the author by the government.
What’s the problem with Economics in One Lesson (except that it’s old)?
At that price, it had better be four or five times better than Economics in One Lesson. That’s a stiff hurdle to overcome.
It is expensive for a “popular” book. I am sure it is a good book but my value of it doesn;t extend to $55.
I just started an MBA class on globalization, thanks for the heads-up! But I’ll agree w/ the others, that’s a lot of money for a 184 page book. I would also be interested in your criticism of the Hazlitt text.

Or wait for the paperback and buy the hardcover then– usually ‘used hardcovers’ are cheaper on Amazon (anybody care to make a guess) than the paperback.
And the more cheap Final Fantasy XI Gold is very good for you.
Is it realistic?
New technology is always given us surprising and life way changing.
