smiorganbaldhead's review against another edition
2.0
There were a couple of stories I liked. My favorites were "Renewable Resource" and "The Monument." However, overall I found this anthology disappointing. I found most of the exploration of economic ideas to be pretty shallow. More frustrating, some of the speculative elements (technologies or magic) in the stories actually would have interesting economic implications, but many of these implications remain unexamined.

There were stories that I liked within this anthology and ones that I wasn’t the biggest fan of — that was to be expected as mentioned by the compilers. All of the shorts in here are worth a read, some are worth a re-read or multiple reads. The afterword was A+ too.
