Menzie, that is an absolutely brilliant book cover. (I'm sure the insides are just as good.)

Where are you going drinking after the meetings? THAT'S where your Chicagoland non-academic fans and fenemies want to meet you.

Peter G. Klein: Thanks, Peter! Wish I could claim credit, but I don't have that aesthetic capability. Did make it on a list of top 50 most clever minimalist covers...
Buzzcut: If I had a twitter account...but economists are a pretty retiring lot (at least this one is), so it'll have to be in the convention hotel hallways.

A good book and many good subjects at this conference in the windy city.

I wish I were there to shake your hand.
Great book!

You should reconsider. Chicago has great bars (and nobody riots when they close early, like they do in Madison).
I like the Berghoff in the Loop the best.

Buzzcut....I grew up on the south side. I don't remember the bars on Oak St. actually closing except to sweep the floors and roll out the drunks! ;-)
Menzie's book is well written. It's refreshing to come across an econ book that is both accessible to lay readers such as ourselves and still academically serious enough to hold up to seminars and conferences.
