Blog CoverageFrom Barry Ritholtz of BigPicture.typepad.com:
From Arnold Kling of Econlog.Econlib.org~Arnold:
From Don Boudreaux: "Learning Economics is a collection of 57 essays—each about the length of an op-ed—on public-policy topics ranging from health care to education to stock prices. The engaged reader will learn, up-close and clearly, just how a master economist uses the economic way of thinking in ways that matter most."
"Arnold Kling brings an incisive economist's eyes to the current problems of the day, with a readable style and a substantive emphasis on the creative destruction of America's dynamic high-tech start-up world."
Jeffrey Frankel, Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University
"In the 20th Century, a couple of generations learned sensible economic policy from Henry Hazlitt's classic Economics in One Lesson. In the 21st Century, we are fortunate to have Arnold Kling's astute and highly readable update, Learning Economics.
Ronald Bailey, Science Correspondent, Reason Magazine
"I have learned more from Arnold Kling than any other living writer I know. Kling’s great gift is not just in giving readers new things to think about – important facts, history, data, and ideas – but, more importantly, in teaching them how to think"
Nick Schulz, editor <a href = "http://www.techcentralstation.com">TechCentralStation</a>
"Learning Economics is the the perfect source for learning how economists think. Kling's brilliance and wit shows how economics is 'the hopeful science'. He has inherited Herb Stein's role as the humane debunker of cant and sentimentality."
Bernard Saffran, Department of Economics, Swarthmore College
