The Theory of Interstellar Trade

Summary:

Humorous article. Book promo.
The stand up economist, has a post to Paul Krugman's humorous article on the Theory of Interstellar Trade.    The Cartoon Introduction of Economics, by Grady Klein and Yoram Bauman is superb.  It covers microeconomics.  Because of this book, I learned easier ways to teach hard concepts such as marginal decision making.  My favorite part of the book was auctions.
