Unexpectedly Intriguing!
11 April 2006

Seen on the bookshelf with recent economics releases: The Armchair Economist, The Undercover Economist and Freakonomics. Is it just me, or does this combination of titles give the impression that economists are people who are likely to be lounging around, skulking about, or freaking out while doing their econ thing? Then again, maybe the job description should be changed to make it clear that the field is limited to people who are lazy, sneaky and/or freaky.
