’ve just sent the final manuscript of Economics in Two Lessons back to Princeton University Press. I’ll have to correct the proofs, but apart from that, my work here is done.
US publication is currently scheduled for May 2019, hopefully with an Australian edition to follow. I’ve set up a Facebook page (see below) and have been posting extracts regularly.

Congrats, John. Hopefully this book will be read by all serious students of economics, whether they be young undergrads studying economics in university or retired old duffers with grandiose delusions such as me.
The internet age: 7 months to get a book released to the public after final manuscript – seems surprisingly slow.
Congratulations.
