Review [A]n unusual and wildly enjoyable book.---Stephen J. Dubner, nytimes Freakonomics blogTake a look at the computer screen your eyes are presently (hopefully) fixated on, not to mention the computer mouse you used in order to click on this posting. Did you ever consider how both were made? Could you make either yourself, and if so, how and where would you acquire the various raw materials and parts in order to create them? If the above questions vex you, the George Mason economics professor Russell Robertss excellent new novel, The Price of Everything, is for you. Importantly, Roberts does not explain how things are made in this tale as much as he teaches us through a very interesting dialogue between a professor and student that the whole system we call a market economy works as well as it does precisely because of how little we have to know.---John Tamny, RealClearMarkets Improbable as it might seem, perhaps the most important fact for a voter or politician to know is: No one can make a pencil. That truth is the essence of a novella that is, remarkably, both didactic and romantic. Even more remarkable, its author is an economist. If you read Russell Robertss The Price of Everything: A Parable of Possibility and Prosperity you will see the world afresh.---George Will, NewsweekThis book is the third foray into the world of economic fiction for Roberts. In terms of prose and content, it is also his best effort. . . . In this new book, set on and around the Stanford University campus, Roberts bundles several clever insights about everyday economics with the overriding theme of prosperity and economic growth, and pulls it all off with warmth and plenty of heart.---A.R. Sanderson, Choice[T]he best attempt to teach economics through fiction that the world has seen to date.---Tyler Cowen, Marginal RevolutionThe Price of Everything [is] Russ Roberts latest didactic novel. I cannot recommend it strongly enough. I thought his other fictional attempts to teach economics were decent, but in my opinion this one represents a real step up.---Arnold Kling, EconLog[The Price of Everything] is Robertss third economics novel--the first two were Choice: A Fable of Free Trade and Protectionism and The Invisible Heart: An Economic Romance. They are great introductions to free-market economic theory, especially for those who are easily turned off by numbers and graphs. Wrapping a narrative around economic theories may seem like a peculiar approach to teaching, but didactic novels have a long and noble pedigree.---Clint Witchalls, SpectatorDont be put off by the title, you just might not be able to put it down. Its brilliance is in its simplicity, and its now the first economics book I recommend. Yes, Milton Friedmans Free to Choose and Friedrich Hayeks The Road to Serfdom are still the cornerstones, but easy to read? No.---Thomas Oliver, Atlanta Journal-ConstitutionI loved the way Roberts wove into the story examples of what Hayek called spontaneous order that even those who believe that order happens only from the top down would have to acknowledge--from dancers moving unpredictably on the dance floor without ever colliding to the thousands of people and bits of specialized knowledge it takes to make a pencil, which nobody can make by himself. This little book deserves an audience as wide as eventually developed for Economics in One Lesson. It conveys similar information in a more nuanced, personal and humanistic way. Nice work.---Alan W. Bock, Orange County RegisterHave you ever wanted to give a friend a book that explains the main virtues of economic freedom in a dramatic way that is accessible to a broad audience? Russell Robertss latest novel, The Price of Everything, is the book you want. Thats right: I said latest novel.---David R. Henderson, Regulation[T]he novel is eminently readable. And if you did not know anything about how the American system works you would come away from reading i
