Background
Landsburg received a Master of Arts degree from the University of Rochester in 1974, along with a Doctor of Philosophy degree from the University of Chicago.[2] The now Rochester Professor of Economics released his first book, Price Theory and Applications in 1989 and followed it up in 1993 with the first edition of The Armchair Economist.[3] Since then he has written for many different publications such as Slate, The Wall Street Journal as well as releasing numerous other books surrounding the topic of Economics.[3][4]
In 2012 Landsburg released a "revised and updated" version of the original work, aiming to present the same ideas within a 21 century context. He achieved this by rewriting some chapters while also adding over 80 pages bringing the book into the contemporary age.[5][6]
