I haven't read it, but I've leafed through it a few times and noticed
that much (at least 50%, I'd guesstimate) of the material has been
adapted from Friedman's excellent but basic price theory textbook,
PRICE THEORY. Now when I first read PRICE THEORY, I thought, "Gee,
this is a great book. Everyone should read it. Too bad it's packaged
as a scary college econ textbook." It seems to me that HIDDEN ORDER
addresses this packaging concern perfectly.
It's not nearly as elementary and braindead as INNUMERACY, though.
