Ask a dozen talking heads about the course of action we should take to right the economy and youll get thirteen different answers. But what if we possessed a handful of basic principles that could guide our decisionsboth the personal ones about how to save and spend but also those national ones that have been capturing the headlines?

In The Economic Naturalists Field Guide, he reveals how they play out in Washington, on Wall Street, and in our own lives, covering everything from healthcare to tax policy to everyday decisions about what we do with our money.
In todays uncertain economic climate, The Economic Naturalists Field Guides insights have more bearing than ever on our pocketbooks, policies, and personal happiness.
