Abstract
What does supply and demand teach us about whether rotating wall clouds will spin out a tornado? Nothing, really. Can we use the stock market to understand why tornadoes can be so capricious, flattening one house and leaving the one next door untouched? Well, no. So why would a couple of economists who have never even seen a tornado except on TV, and who know nothing about cloud dynamics, write a book about tornadoes? And why would anyone want to read it?
