The book is, in fact, written as a partnership between its two authors themselves, a lecturer in philosophy and a lecturer in economics.

Science, 162 (3859), pp.1243–8. It should be noted that the concept was originated by William Forster Lloyd, who used the example of the problem of unregulated grazing on common land in Great Britain. Hardin developed this idea and applied it to the concept of human overpopulation. He argued that in nature, overpopulation is self-regulated. If parents only relied on themselves, then the number of children they had was not a matter for wider society. If they could not feed their children they would die, and so the system would self-regulate. He argued that a welfare state would lead to a tragedy of the commons. If parents knew that the state would provide, they would overbreed and Malthusian tragedy would follow. Hmmn.

I enjoyed this book because it introduced me to a topic of global importance under the guise of a fun holiday read. It is very much aimed at the beginner without any formal economics education when it comes to classical economic theory, but covers a lot of concepts that help us understand some of the decisions being made by the policymakers and industry leaders around us. It also begins to arm the reader to critique some of the more dubious ideologies and approaches demonstrated by people in power. https://www.economist.com/finance-and-economics/2017/09/23/china-sets-its-sights-on-dominating-sunrise-industriesWe are experiencing delays with deliveries to many countries, but in most cases local services have now resumed.

PDF / EPUB File Name: How_to_Teach_Economics_to_Your_Dog_-_Rebecca_Campbell.pdf, How_to_Teach_Economics_to_Your_Dog_-_Rebecca_Campbell.epub Though I am not a dog person, I did find the format fun -- each basic microecon or macroecon lesson is framed as a walk on which she's taking her dog Monty to converse about these topics. Often Monty's input is a minor joke about food or bones, or just asking her to define a jargon term, but occasionally he gets off some edgy lines, e.g., "being laughed at by a dachsund is like being called stupid by a boxer" (p. 260) (ooh, snap!) the sense that this is the area in which he is relatively least bad. The Economist has a nice example with numbers in case this has not convinced you. https://www.economist.com/economics-a-to-z/c#node-21529435
