The insight from this year’s ‘most popular’ reckoning is …. that people love lists. The first four places in fact go to lists. Here’s the full top ten:

1. The year ahead in economics books – or at least my gleanings from the spring catalogues
2. The Enlightened Economist Prize longlist
3. The Enlightened Economist Prize winner
4. A look ahead from the autumn publishers’ catalogues
5. My review of Jean Tirole’s Economics for the Common Good
6. An appreciation of Will Baumol
7. My review of a new biography of Edith Penrose
8. My review of Dani Rodrik’s Straight Talk on Trade
9. A trailer for Dani Rodrik’s Straight Talk on Trade
10. A review of Howard Wainer’s Truth and Truthiness

If it was only about traffic, I’d stick to lists, Jean Tirole and Dani Rodrik in 2018.
