an in-depth discussion of tyler cowen's 'an economist gets lunch'

this is the worst book ever written y/n? anyone saying 'n' please defend this seemingly untenable position

Reading Mr. Cowen — he is a professor of economics at George Mason University near Washington, the author of a best-selling e-book titled “The Great Stagnation,” and a food blogger — is like watching a middle-aged man in a blue blazer play Hacky Sack at a My Morning Jacket concert.

lol

i liked a lot of the gamesmanship and reasoning behind the hungryman strategies he describes, but some of them are just empirically duds.

Many of his sentences read as if he composed them before entirely waking from a nap.

i think this is a j0rdan post

the whole thing is p good

Truisms are sprinkled like whatever the opposite of salt is.

I hate when people say "sick burn" but damn that is a sick burn
