Trade Review
In this lively and insightful book, Paul Robin shows just how much light can be shed on the institutions of modern life by reference to our long species history as hunter-gatherers. This is highly recommended reading. -- Herbert Gintis * author of Game Theory Evolving *
Full of insights and interesting connections among biology, public policy, and economics. It keeps the reader's interest and is well paced. Simply great - I enjoyed every minute of it. -- Michael T. McGuire * coauthor of Darwinism Psychiatry *
A lucid, responsible, thought-provoking, constructive inquiry into the biological foundations of economic behavior. -- Richard Posner, judge * U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit *
