Steven Landsburg, better known as the Armchair Economist, is one of the closest things the economics world has to a rock star. His book was one of the first of the series of pop economics books like Freakonomics - and one of the best at that.

I'm delighted to say that he'll be speaking at the Adam Smith Institute next Monday, on his new book "More Sex is Safer Sex and Other Surprises From Economics". You can see the event details here — it's free and open to everyone, so do come along if you can. Please RSVP so we know you're coming, and let your friends know — they'll never forgive you if you don't!
