Risky Business does the seemingly impossible: it makes insurance fun!...Throw out the economics textbooks--this is how people should learn economics! -- Steven D. Levitt, coauthor of Freakonomics The problem of hidden information is central to understanding insurance, and the nature of markets more generally. The very human cat-and-mouse stories that animate Risky Business are not only great fun; they also subtly reveal the basis of a great deal of economics. -- George Akerlof, Nobel Laureate in economics This book is a fascinating look at how insurance markets work (or don't). It's a must-read for people seeking to understand their own choices, and for policy makers who shape those options. -- Emily Oster, author of The Family Firm
