Jodi Beggs:

Economists talk so much about a theoretical, perfectly rational and calculating economic man that it's easy to forget sometimes that economists themselves are, in fact, human. The New York Times did a good job, however, of presenting the human side of Betsey Stevenson and Justin Wolfers, two prominent economists at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. To make things even more adorable, the two economists have a domestic partnership as well as a professional one, and much of their research centers on, you guessed it, the economics of the family. It's a good read, especially if you've ever wanted to understand how economists incorporate what they've learned from their field into their daily lives.
