Sex, Drugs, and Economics: An Unconventional Introduction to Economics

Customer Reviews

Highly Recommnded! - By: Rolf Dobelli, 03 Jun 2004
Most books about economics tend to be rather dry & technical. Not this one. Diane Coyle writes with humor & grace, infusing her erudition into lively prose, never burdening the reader or demanding that you patiently suffer through academic digressions. She views economics not as a subject but as yoga; it's not a bunch of stuff you ought to know but rather a way of learning & reflection. Coyle manages to touch on alll of the major contemporary economic issues - literallly, sex, drugs & rock & roll - & to make it clear how economic logic relates to such phenomena as sexual behavior, drug taking, war, fashion, major league sports & the Internet. This is an interesting, amusing book by an excellent author, both saucy & unconventional. We know that it might not help you make a lot of money - it's not that kind of book - but believes that it will make you richer in other ways.
