What do you get when you combine a world-renowned economist and a food lover? A must-read book that uses economic principles to create new rules for foodies.The book, An Economist Gets Lunch: New Rules for Everyday Foodies, is from Tyler Cowen, a leading economist at George Mason University.
He writes a column for the New York Times and his economic blog, Marginal Revolution, is one of the most influential in the world. If you're interested in finance or economics like me, be sure to check out his work. Cowen is also a passionate foodie on the hunt for great food globally, which you can follow at Tyler Cowen’s Ethnic Dining Guide.
I highly recommend reading this book. You’ll gain a greater understanding for our food system through the intersection of food and economics.
What I found most interesting were all the tidbits about finding great food when traveling and creating memorable food experiences.
Let me know what you think if you read the book. Knowing many of you might just prefer a Cliffs Notes version, here are the 29 best things I learned about food after reading the book.
