Sample chapter of Parentonomics

March 20, 2008 | 1 Comment | Joshua Gans

Justin Wolfers has written about Parentonomics today on the NYT Freakonomics blog and in honor of that I thought this would be a great opportunity to share a sample of Parentonomics (which is coming out here in Australia in August). Here is Justin’s post and click here and you can read Chapter 7 of Parentonomics. It encompasses page 69 that Tyler Cowen argued was what you should read rather than judging a book by its cover.

    I think your writing could benefit from sidebars. “social loss”? “turnaround time”? The “tragedy of the queue” as a head-nod to …? Sell it as an engaging read that could also educate, if the reader can tear their self away from the witty prose of the main text. And relevant photos.
