I read this right before I left Buffalo so I could give it to Amy, so she could read it. While I found the idea of using economics as a framework for looking at other problems a pretty obvious idea, I thought Lewitt’s execution was very good, though I would have liked to see even more formalization of the process he used, and thought the book bordered too close to simple storytelling.

It seems people feel much better about themselves when they believe they are reading science, regardless of how scientific the science is.
