A blogging experiment
One MR reader has suggested that I blog more about topics I know little or nothing about. Let us try an experiment. The comments are open for your suggestions. The first topic that is mentioned by three different commentators will be blogged about soon for a few days running, or for as long as I can manage. Obscene and libelous options do not count, and perhaps I will have to rule out the physically impossible ("what is the best Serbian translation of War and Peace"?) as well. Who knows, maybe Alex will join in with a post or two...
Addendum: Ladies and gentleman, we have a winner. Read the comments. If you feel you missed a chance to vote, I will run this experiment again soon.

It was by a Russian who loathed psychoanalysis.

Holy lord, GamblingEconomist. That was one of the most brilliant examples of wit ever seen by man. Unfortunate that you needed to explain it, though I can understand not wanting to be hated.

The great American novel - but with a twist - the GAN but only those with an economics or political twist - for example the Gilded Age by Mark Twain.

"One MR reader has suggested that I blog more about topics I know little or nothing about."
Well, if you're an Economist, that would be how to get a date, would it not?
jk :)
Even still, applications of gametheory to the dating game would make for a great blog.
