Entrepreneurial economics
*Trillion Dollar Economists* (2014-09-24)

That is the new book by Robert E. Litan and it is the single best attempt to answer the question of what good economists have done the world (I am also a big fan of Alex’s earlier edited volume, Entrepreneurial Economics on this topic, the Litan is more current).  The subtitle is How Economists and their Ideas have Transformed Business .

What I’ve been reading (2007-08-29)

4. Do Economists Make Markets? , an edited collection of essays.  How could they not cite Alex’s Entrepreneurial Economics ?  Or pay homage to Robin Hanson and prediction markets?  Still, this is a useful introduction to how economists have tried to shape real world markets, from spectrum auctions to options pricing.
