Summary: I am a huge fan of P.Q. Wall’s writing and was delighted when I stumbled across this unpublished manuscript a few years ago. Here’ an excerpt from this books introduction. “Amusing Oneself with the Zombie People: Casting about the projects of amusement in 1988, the author pondered a further mastery of home brewing and a sojourn in Madagascar, among other schemes. But it occurred to him that a short blunt book telling the truth about economics could be one of the funniest jokes in the world.” — This 1988 title is that short blunt masterpiece (IMHO) written by P.Q. Wall in 1988, 29pp.
