As I mentioned a few weeks ago, my wife and I are fans of Mike Birbiglia. Our shared sense of humor does not, sadly, extend to Yoram Bauman, the world’s self-proclaimed first (and only?) Stand Up Economist. He’s considerably more leftist than I am, I think, but Bauman’s bit on the translated principles of economics makes me laugh every time I think about it.

Bauman has a book coming out early next year, The Cartoon Introduction to Economics. I’m looking forward to reading it.
