… least for me. Princeton University Press has agreed to publish my book, Economics in Two Lessons: Why Markets Work and Why they can Fail so Badly. I’ve been working on it for seven years, but it’s finally done. It should be published in the first half of 2019.
Stay tuned for news on a possible Australian edition.

It’ll be on my shelf next to your Zombie Economics.

Wonderful! Congratulations. I’ve been following–much needed.

Congratulations! I’ve learned so much from the chapters you’ve published. They are so well-crafted. This is a much-needed addition to the economics canon for sure.

Well done – it will go beside the first edition – I will be pre-ordering as soon as I can

As an economic simple-minded dolt I have to say I learned a lot from reading your chapters, and congratulate you on this!
Richard Starkey 07.25.18 at 5:12 am
Many congratulations!
I’d be very interested to hear any reflections you might have on putting your draft chapters out for public scrutiny. Very brave of you. How useful did you find it? How much value do you feel it added?

Great!

Thanks to everyone for kind words.
Richard Starkey @13 My previous book, Zombie Economics started out as a blog post, so it was natural to keep on posting drafts. That worked really well, so now I wouldn’t write a book any other way. I got lots of benefits, from copy editing to stylistic tips to substantive points where I was unclear of wrong.

Congratulations, John! And very nice to see that the blogging-the-draft-bookchapters worked so well for you – once again!

Hi John, I just read the best analysis of the current information environment in the US in the Nation by Michael Massing, co-founder of the Committee to Protect Journalists, frequent contributor at the Guardian, Columbia Journalism Review, New York Review of Books, etc. I highly recommend it and hope you’ll allow me to post the link here. Cheers.
