My favorite econ shirt to wear to class is the one with the quote (I think from Scott Lincicome) 'Tariffs not only impose immense economic costs but also fail to achieve their primary policy aims and foster political dysfunction along the way.' I got one for Christmas a few years ago and wear it every time we discuss tariffs.

I would add a good bookshelf to the list to help econ people hold all the great books that cover various economic topics in easy to understand ways you can use in class.

I could be wrong, but I think bookshelves may be the one furniture item I have purchased most in my life.

Jadrian, are you going to use Paved Paradise in your urban economics class? I hope yes :)

I opted for New Urban Crisis as my second book, but I'll definitely have some chapters from Paved Paradise on the reading list.
