"Concise, chatty, companionable, ever-so-savvy... The first three pages should sell you on this one... having covered AI from the jump, this is as good as it gets."
—Paul Solman, (very) longtime Business & Economics Correspondent, PBS News Hour
What can a kangaroo teach you about job security?
Through vivid, often surreal stories, AI Economics reveals how technology is reshaping our world. You will discover:
- The "Weirdness Wage Premium": Why the strangest jobs may soon command the highest pay.
- The Kangaroo Lesson: What marsupials can teach us about modern job security.
- Secondhand Privacy: Why someone else’s data might be more dangerous to you than secondhand smoke.
- The Green Mountain Mystery: Why Chinese officials once spray-painted an entire mountainside green, and why new technology finally made them stop.
In AI Economics, an eminent economist draws on decades of research to reveal how these forces are reshaping our world, and offers a practical map for what comes next. From why self-driving cars might need literal bulletproofing to why "going data nude" could actually lead to a better society, this book unpacks the urgent realities taking shape right now.
"This book represents the best in bringing real research to understand what is happening in our current AI-moment. ... An easy and informative read."
—Joshua Gans, University of Toronto, author of Prediction Machines and The Microeconomics of Artificial Intelligence
"AI Economics... brings a lively economic perspective to analyzing how AI will transform our lives. The book is informative and fun to read."
—Joel Waldfogel, University of Minnesota, author of Scroogenomics and Digital Renaissance
A NOTE ON HOW THIS BOOK WAS WRITTEN
To write a book about the AI disruption without using AI would be like writing a history of the printing press by hand-scribing it. However, efficiency does not replace quality or humanity:
- AI generated drafts.
- The economic theories are the author's own.
- The manuscript was polished and challenged by a professional human editor.
- The cover was designed by a human artist.
The result is a book that is not just an analysis of the future, but a proof-of-concept for it.

Right of withdrawal
Instructions for revocation
Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
Criteria for exclusion or expiry
The revocation right is not available for contracts
-
for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
-
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
-
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
