Sushi Wisdom

From the archives of Marginal Revolution, Tyler Cowen gives us this little bit of wisdom about sushi as an economic indicator:

"Put on the spot, I offered the following principle. If sushi restaurants are new to a country, and are succeeding, buy shares in the stocks of that country. Raw fish, of course, can be toxic. Quality can be hard to monitor with the naked eye. Sushi consumption is a sign that people are starting to trust each other."

 Cowen is a very creative economist, and deserves the title "lord of the foodies" much more than I.  You will see his words posted here often.
