An interesting primer on some microeconomic concepts.
This book was fine, not great. I really liked some of the explanations for behaviors of pirates that we may attribute to other causes, and I think it was nice to look at microeconomics through the lens of a pirate. The last chapter is rather grating as Leeson pontificates on his libertarian beliefs (as one might expect from a George Mason economist) and gives little credence to other views.
A short book, but it could have been shorter - there's a lot of repitition. Still, an interesting way to view Pirates.
