The Irrational Economist Book Project
Contributions from the conference panelists, as well as from several others contributors (including several Nobel laureates) will be compiled in a book to be published in early 2010 by PublicAffairs Press. This book, titled The Irrational Economist: Making Decisions in a Dangerous World will distill the knowledge of these scholars into a valuable reference for researchers, practitioners from industry, and policy makers.
PublicAffairs is an independent publishing house, founded by Peter Osnos in 1997, to create a new model for effectively and profitably publishing serious non-fiction for general readers. They are the publishers of Muhammad Yunus, Wesley Clark, George Soros, Dorothy Height, Vernon Jordan, Wendy Kopp, Robert McNamara, Andy Rooney, Natan Sharansky, Scott McClellan, Linda Robinson, and Boris Yeltsin, among many others.
PublicAffairs is member of the Perseus Books Group, which was named “Publisher of the Year” in 2007 by Publishers Weekly. The Perseus Books Group was created with the belief that works of literary fiction and serious nonfiction are both necessary and desirable and that an innovative and aggressive new model of publishing can fill a void in today's marketplace and allow works of quality to be published both profitably and well. Devoted entirely to supporting and fostering such works, each Perseus Books Group member is editorially independent and individually focused, and all are committed to publishing books that matter.
