New book challenges economic orthodoxy with humor and historical insight
CONROE, TX, October 1, 2024 – Defiance Press & Publishing, a leading voice in principled literature, is proud to announce the release of “Fiscal Follies: A Little Fun with Economics (and Economists)” by Daniel C. Munson. This thought-provoking book offers a fresh, entertaining perspective on the often dry world of economics, making it accessible to a wide audience.
In “Fiscal Follies,” Munson challenges the scientific pretensions of economics and other social sciences with wit and wisdom. He argues that movies, plays, novels, music lyrics, and economic history can teach economics more effectively than charts, graphs, and mathematical models.
The book explores various economic issues, including:
– Social insurance
– Inflation vs. deflation
– Socialism
– Wall Street pay
– Gold-backed currency
– Income tax fairness
– Energy policy
– Business school proliferation
Munson’s unique approach examines the economic significance of well-known figures from various fields, including Babe Ruth, Charles Dickens, Franklin Roosevelt, Jerry Brown, George Bernard Shaw, Karl Marx, and even the Beatles and ABBA.
Daniel C. Munson, a chemical engineer by training with a law degree, brings a diverse background to his economic analysis. His 20-year experience writing for national financial journals such as Barron’s and Financial History provides a solid foundation for his critique of economic orthodoxy.
“Fiscal Follies” is now available for purchase on Amazon: https://amzn.to/48a3Gqz
