    Not without violating my contract and word. Get together with a curious friend (or two) and share a copy! A bargain at twice the price.

    Possible to host a pre-pub version online for free?

    Priced for textbook market. Barely over 100 pages. But about same # of words as my other books. (200+pages) Typeset like textbook is reason.

    What is the deal with the (ridiculously high) price of The Choice? Gotta get that price down. Critical book for the times.

    That's why I wrote The Choice...

    Trouble is that the law of comparative advantage sounds counter intuitive. Needs reframing for PR.

    Don't need textbooks. If they give us cheap stuff it makes us richer.

    # of US biz can't compete with Chinese biz subsidized by their govt. Texbooks don't deal w/a country circumventing fair trade.

    US has a great deal of manufacturing infrastructure. Just not so much manufacturing employment.

    Alternatively, if you keep no manufacturing infrastructure, you have sold your future for a short term profit. Do you advocate no balance?

    If we make everything ourselves, we keep all the jobs and all the money here. But what the money buys and the jobs pay will be lower.
