    "This book will help you become a critical consumer of economic arguments. Accordingly, the volume provides many examples of these arguments, and explains why they are wrong. It is not, however, just an exercise in negation; it does present some economic theory, though not in a formal and rigorous way. Instead of stressing a well-explicated theory, it inculcates an intuitive "feel" for economics, which economics courses often overlook due to their strong emphasis on the technical apparatus of economics."--BOOK JACKET
