Saifedean didn't write the book. I only tagged him because his company published it. The writer is an investigative journalist who studied the various incentives around food policy. The thesis is excellent and the knowledge is solid.

Baseless appeal to authority? what do you mean?

That I feel Saifedean is kind of abusing his authority in topics he has not enough knowledge to be of importance. So I think many people search very much authority in him, while he is maby authority for economic questions, in most other topics I doubt he is.

Economics touches on every aspect of our lives, and this book is about how printing money has ramifications for the food supply.

Saifedean is not the author, but it totally makes sense that his publishing house would publish this book. It's perfectly in their wheelhouse.
