5.0 out of 5 stars The best book on economic writing I have ever seen!, April 14, 1998
This review is from: Writing of Economics (Paperback)
It may not be a crime against humanity that this book is out of print but it is a major inconvenience! I paid $18 for a paperback copy (imported, 63 SMALL pages (4 by 7 or so)) but STILL felt it was worth it. Some academic publisher could do the world of social science writing a real service by re-publishing it. Some "guideposts" (actually chapter headings give the flavor: BE THOU CLEAR; FLUENCY CAN BE ACHIEVED BY GRIT; PARAGRAPHS SHOULS HAVE POINTS;FOOTNOTES ARE NESTS FOR PEDANTS; BE CONCRETE; BE PLAIN. My advice: READ IT (if you can find it!)
