From the outset, the author provides us with his approach, which is based on the world of his nine-year-old daughter, who: ?strove from infancy to focus my attention on certain principles of applied economics, beginning with the importance of material comfort. Cayley and I have been teaching economics to each other ever since.? From her world he uses simple analogies to convey economic insights. This could just as well be placed in a bookstore under the section designated ?Parenting,? for it recognizes that today?s lessons will yield dividends through higher future wages or a more fulfilling life for her, which is now critical in a society where future opportunity is seized not by brawn but with brains. In an economic chess tournament, the politicians would probably win, but Landsburg would be awarded the brilliancy prize.
