Review of 'The price of everything' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
A pleasant book, with lots of fun factoids. Not a perfect popularization book, or even close -- my favorites in that department are still Fermat's Last Theorem by ([a:Simon Singh|10894|Simon Singh|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1263127928p2/10894.jpg]) (published as Ferat's Enigma in the US) and [a:Bill Bryson (Author)|4920581|Bill Bryson (Author)|http://www.goodreads.com/images/nophoto/nophoto-U-50x66.jpg]'s book [b:A Short History of Nearly Everything|21|A Short History of Nearly Everything|Bill Bryson|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255682270s/21.jpg|2305997]. The Price of Everything was uneven and some parts were uninspiring, but some parts showed how some nice methodology exists for assigning price to things you would not have suspected.
