Jim Otteson's new book, Seven Deadly Economic Sins: Obstacles to Prosperity and Happiness Every Citizen Should Know,  discusses common economic "sins" or fallacies that may seem intuitively compelling but often lead to waste, loss and forgone prosperity. The goal of the book is to not only explain the economic reasoning behind the fallacies but also to help us achieve the growing, widespread prosperity necessary for a flourishing and ultimately happier life. Jim is the John T. Ryan Jr. Professor of Business Ethics and the Rex and Alice A. Martin Faculty Director of the Notre Dame Deloitte Center for Ethical Leadership.
