Conflicting Signals at the Marginal Revolution

Michael Giberson

I?m getting conflicting signals from Marginal Revolution. No, not the disagreement between Alex and Tyler over Deidre McCloskey?s recent lecture on prudence in politics. It?s the The Shangri-La Diet, currently listed under the heading “We Recommend.” Click through to Amazon and check out the author’s name on the cover ? “Seth Roberts, PhD.”

Uh-oh, “PhD” on the cover. As any regular reader of the Marginal Revolution knows, that?s a bad sign.
