Matt Yglesias reviews *Create Your Own Economy*
The review is here, excerpt:
It’s a bit hard to do the book justice because the subject matter is so unorthodox. So I’ll put it this way instead. I first cracked the book one afternoon intending to read for about ninety minutes and then go get on my bike and meet someone. While reading, I decided to change plans and take the bus instead so as to create more time (both coming and going) when I could read more Create Your Own Economy. There’s no real discussion of policy issues here, but you do get a fascinating analysis of Sherlock Holmes.
You can buy the book here.

If Matt wants discussion of policy issues, he'll have to wait for the follow-up book Create Everybody Else's Own Economy.

This is the type of book that I would like to add to my library (so I want a physical book) as well as read on my Kindle. Do I get preferred pricing if I order both the physical book and the Kindle version?

Heh, I've been accusing Robin Hanson of making several arguments, only an autistic could make. (i.e. completely socially/empathically tone deaf). Little did I know, he was probably take that as a complement.

You save more time, time is your own. Time to study a lot of Sherlock Holmes.

Ouch.
Highgamma, don't take it too hard. Good effort. This was less about raw skill than being caught in a force of nature.
As a frequent runner-up in this winner-take-all competition that is blog commentary, I can tell you the sting will pass.
Chin up.
