No One Makes You Read Bad Books

James Joyner | Friday, May 18, 2007

Alex Tabarrok has en extensive review of Tom Slee’s No One Makes You Shop at Wal-Mart, which he dubs “the best of the anti-market books: it is well written, serious, and knowledgeable about economics.”

The next several paragraphs demonstrate why “best of the anti-market books” is faint praise, indeed, and makes the description “well written, serious, and knowledgeable about economics” seem far too kind.

About the Author: James Joyner is the publisher of Outside the Beltway and the managing editor of the Atlantic Council. He's a former Army officer, Desert Storm vet, and college professor with a PhD in political science from The University of Alabama. He lives just outside the Beltway in Alexandria, Virginia.
