Ask your local bookstore for my new book (co-authored with Grady Klein), or you can order it for just $12 from Amazon.com or B&N. Here’s more, including a review from Bryan Caplan at Econlib and an awesome excerpt (to go along with the excerpt from Volume 1). And here’s a sweet comment about the Japanese translation of Cartoon Micro: “I have read your book in Japan. There are more knowledge in two hours from this book than in 40 hours from economics courses at the university.”

Contact me to bring me to your school or corporate event: I’m happy to work with you on inflation- or deflation-proof contracts in a fiat currency of your choice… or we can just settle for a bit of gold!
