I just received a book in the mail with no sign of whom sent it.
It’s a new book from one of my favorite professors at Cornell, so whomever sent it had a nice thought. Thanks!
Update: turns out that the book is a gift from Robert Frank himself, as a thank you for using an essay a question of mine in the book. Go to the index and you’ll see “Tingleff, Sam, 61.” While I’m sure that he’s just out for a good review on my high traffic web site, sorry! I’m holding out for 5% of the royalties.
Want to read it? Buy the book! Preferably using this link right here… Enough of those and I just might earn my rightful share.
You going to make me go to the bookstore to find out what your quetion was?
of course not! just buy it on amazon!
Sam, this is very exciting! you really shouldn’t keep us in suspense tho.
okay okay. one of our assignments for the class was an “economic naturalist” essay, where you answer an oddity in regular life through economic terms. my question was why do many fast food “restaurants” offer a free meal if you are not given a receipt?
i happen to know the answer from my days at BK, where we did not have such a policy but should have. if you need to know (and won’t buy the book) go to amazon and find page 61.
I’m guessing it’s to keep employees from keeping the transaction off the books (and keeping the money). My Amazon reader skips from page 18 to the index.
