The International Journal of Economics and Management has so far had no book review section. The reasons for this past omission are complex: some might argue that we economists do not write books worth reviewing (product supply side - unlikely); that we, especially the younger generation, do not read (entire) books these days (product demand side - likely); that journals are a more natural outlet for an exchange of views on current thinking than books, which are a slow, inefficient way in reaching intended audience (distribution side - very likely); or that reviews have a low score or outright zero point average in assessing academic output that facilitates academic reputation and promotion(competitive supply side - most likely).
