Let Professor Marsh take your brain on a roller coaster ride with a host of common sense solutions and dramatic innovations in a world that is changing ever more rapidly as we travel further into the 21st century. "Brain on Fire" provides over 80 of the professor's columns written for the Midwest Voices section of the Kansas City Star. With expertise, humor and an unbounded imagination, he covers a wide range of topics including current issues in economics, education, energy, politics, foreign affairs and health. Marsh is Professor Emeritus in Economics at the University of Notre Dame and Visiting Professor of Econometrics and Statistics in autumn 2010 at the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business.  The following selections provide a small sample: "Should California be allowed to create its own money?" "Flynn Effect, IQ scores and SAT scores: are our children smarter than we are?" "How to curb petro-dictators and promote green jobs." "Why cavemen didn't have weak bones." "An energy plan for Congress: A dynamic, self-adjusting price floor for gasoline." "H1-B visas, highly-skilled immigrants and our knowledge economy." "Enhance financial security, cut income taxes with tax-deferred savings plan." "Is calorie restriction a good defense against cancer?" "No-Eat-Day Diet: A good strategy or bad advice?" "Reprogram your subconscious mind to commit terrorism or lose weight." "Darwin, race and racial attitudes in America." "Is there more to our climate problems than just global warming?" "Afghanistan mirrors Chechnya, not Vietnam." "Freedom and democracy in China." "Stem cells and nanosurgery may change what it means to be human." "Altering animal DNA: Would you like your dog to talk?"  "Aliens have taken over Planet Earth"
