Economics: Poetry and Essays by Daniel X. O'Neil with Jonny Stepping is the third full-length book collaboration of the two Juggernaut Co. founders. The book was released on July 19, 2003. Each book is hand-numbered. There are 2,000 copies printed in the First Edition.

The book, a collection of work dating back to the publication of Memo To All Employees, focuses on the simple fact that the world (market) economy has become an unquestioned foundation for the lives of friends and enemies all over. Whether you are a member of al Qaeda or the Board of Directors of Exxon Mobil, you believe in using capitalism to make money and achieve your goals.

This often makes for strange combinations and odd expressions of reality.

Lots of the material was first published in Emigre Magazine and other magazines and websites. Much of it was also developed while on performance tours around the USA in the late 90s.

Here is the blurb from Books In Print:

Poetry and Essays. The book for those with unclean hands. Economics is based on the gargantuan fact that the world economy is so all-inclusive that it embraces good and evil equally. And no one can do good, like feed their children and clothe themselves and love one another, without somehow bowing down before the presence of evil. Economics moves from large to small. It contains an essay coining the word "trut"-- the mutable concoction of facts employed for an ulterior purpose. 4/5 of the truth, lined up in a reasonable facsimile of the truth. And it contains tiny accounts of the author, exposing his own economics, his own bowing down, and finding dignity in it all. Economics contains found poems and obitpoems. The book is designed and illustrated by Jonny Stepping, a San Francisco-based designer. Economics is a book for people.
