Russ Roberts frequently recommended the autobiography across multiple episodes of EconTalk. While discussing the Iliad and the profound impact of education on an episode, Roberts described Steiner as a relatively lesser-known figure who wrote two books he thoroughly enjoyed, specifically highlighting Errata as a volume he read completely and considered Steiner's top book. In other conversations with guests such as Tyler Cowen, Roberts returned to the memoir, noting that he consistently recommends it because it is overflowing with fascinating concepts and serves as an exceptional intellectual journey into the author's mind. Through these endorsements, Roberts positioned the text as an essential read for anyone interested in deep intellectual history and personal introspection.
