You know I love to recommend books, and I love Economics, and I love happiness....
so here's a book on Econ and happiness that I'm reading...
It's called Happiness and Economics, by Frey and Stutzer (two Swiss economists) and its available on Princeton University Press.
Enjoy!

Some more interesting books...
Sorry for not posting lately, but I've been pretty busy...
some books that although I've not been able to read but that sound pretty interesting are:
1. Predictably Irrational, Dan Ariely (on humans not being as rational as economic theory would predict?
2. In Pursuit of Happiness and Good Government, Charles Murray (this one's pretty old but seems really good - on how government may affect happiness, that if you've made a habit of reading this blog you may have realized is a topic that interests me very much)
3. Classical Liberalism: The Unvanquised Ideal, David Conway
I hope you enjoy them!

Book recommendations
As a part of this blog, I'd like from time to time to recommend books on the topics that will be treated as a part of it. All are titles that I've either read or intend to read in the near future. This the first set of books I'd like to recommend, many of which are by authors who were speakers at the cultural festival "La Ciudad de las ideas" (The City of Ideas) in Puebla last november.
1. Stumbling on Happiness, Daniel Gilbert (Psychology at its best on what makes us happy)
2. Chance, Amir Aczel (a little bit of Probability)
3. The Mystery of the Aleph, Amir Aczel (about the history of the concept of infinity)
4. The Armchair Economist, Steven Landsburg (everyday Economics)
5. Freakonomics, Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner (everyday Economics)
6. The Mystery of Capital, Hernando de Soto (on why some countries are rich and others aren't)
I hope you enjoy these books!
