I recently commented on  Educating Economists, edited by David Colander and KimMarie McGoldrick, a volume of interesting essays on the breadth (or rather lack of it) in the education of economists. The publisher has emailed me that it will be on sale for a bargain price of $5 at the upcoming ASSA conference in Atlanta. It ought to sell a copy to every single teacher of young economists attending the conference. The need for reform in the curriculum is urgent given the chasm that has emerged between what's taught in universities and what good economists now do in their own research.
