Economics Reading: The Romantic Economist
10th February 2013
"Keynesian economics and love, it turns out, have rather a lot in common: they both work not by balancing budgets, or reducing supply to increase prices, but by inspiring trust. Economics did, in the end, provide me with an answer – just not the one I expected."My former student Will Nicholson is celebrating the publication of his first book - The Romantic Economist - here is an extract from the GuardianIt's a semi-autobiographical account of his time at university, in which Will tries to use economic theory to get his love life back on track. Recommended reading for student economists especially those who want a welcome distraction from ponderous mark schemes, KAA and evaluation marks!
