Economics philosopher

In the Wall Street Journal, Joe Quinan wrote the following: "Although it is difficult to find an economist who combines sharp intelligence, wit, fluency, and quick thinking, Landsberg is the only economist who suits these qualities together; he has presented in this very diverse book a view far from traditional on everything, starting from the reason for the high price of a bag of popcorn at the cinema to recycling and the fact that it leads to reducing the number of trees on our planet and not the opposite! All of this in a humorous, easy-to-understand style. Professor at the University of Rochester has succeeded remarkably in turning a set of troubling and mentally exhausting economic questions and discussions into a smooth, simple dialogue that the average person can enjoy following."
