Who Wants Tyler To Be A Millionaire?

Quick followup on my first guest post for the Economist:

I wrote this on Sunday night, when the Amazon rank for Discover Your Inner Economist was about #40,000:

Fun as Lott, Frank, and Landsburg’s books are, I don’t expect to see them hit the best-seller list. They’re interesting, edifying, and well-written, but they come up short on the “cuteness” factor you need to need to make it to the top. And that’s where I believe legendary blogger (and my frequent lunch buddy) Tyler Cowen has an edge.

So has Tyler written the next Freakonomics? For now, I say there's a 10% chance that he clears a million dollars on this book. But I'd love to see that outcome become a certainty.

So do your part for the blogsphere, pre-order, and start getting your daily dose of Tyler's secret blog...
