Read Introspect instead
I like Russ and I appreciate seeing him make some classic drinking game Russ points but the book is short and doesn't dig all that deep and that makes the sense I've heard all of this before bite harder. It echoes Visa's Introspect but the points are faded by the tempering of wizened experience (no offense Russ). The ultimate issue is that Wild v Tame problems is a theoretical framework I find compelling for a lot of evolutionary problems in econ and thus a lot of economic problems in ecology and while it's obviously out of scope for Russ to tackle that here, I wish he didn't feel so embarrassed about the whole notion of theory work he is challenging and thus contributing to. Unclear how much it was cut to cater to mass audiences vs how much Russ got negatively polarized against it and wanted to just say "no more of that!" And write something in a poetic register. Fair enough but I'm not sure they have to be at odds. Maybe something I could explore myself then!
