I didn't actually finish this. And while I'm always game for a good counterintuitive argument, there are just too many bad ones here, where the author plays the contrarian for the sake of, well, just doing that, I guess. The problem with economics is that it's a pseudoscience in which creative thinkers gravitate toward conservative assumptions in order to extrapolate fanciful outcomes, while pretending all of it is ironclad, unassailable logic. Some of this might make for a pretty decent science fiction premise, but despite professing to represent reality, those assumptions really don't hold up well in 2025.

Instead, the entire point is just encapsulated by a story about some guy (authorial self-insert perhaps) who probably should have banged his coworker because that would save her -- and presumably, society, somehow -- from potentially catching a venereal disease from a different, more sexually experienced guy. Okay. I decided to make a good economic decision and stop wasting my time on this book.
