The Economics of Waiting in Line

If you’re even slightly an economic geek, you’ll enjoy this funny post by Brad DeLong, discussing how different economic thinkers would react to rich folks paying poor folks to wait in line for them. Then, to extend the fun, you can go read this (unintentionally?) hilarious article by Steven Landsburg, arguing that lines would be more efficient if newcomers went to the front of the line, rather than the back.
