I am currently reading Discover Your Inner Economist by Professor Tyler Cowen, a Professor of Economics at George Mason University. Professor Cowen is one of the most intriguing and sophisticated thinkers on the planet. You can enjoy his blog MarginalRevolution.com. The chances are 100% that I will make references to this blog periodically. Those of you who liked Freakanomics by Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner will LOVE this book. Promise.
Anyway, Professor Cowen poses an interesting question in the first half of the book: Which is more scarce to you? Money? Time? or Attention? Remember that the field of economics deals with the question of scarcity and constraints. So if you could have one of these without having the other two, which one would it be? Food for thought
