The Economic Naturalist - Robert H Frank

.. Why Economics explains almost everything.

For years, economist Robert Frank has been encouraging his students to use economics to explain the strange situations they encounter in everyday life. Examples are:

- Why is there a light in your fridge but not in your freezer?

- Why is milk sold in rectangular containers, while soft drinks are sold in cylindrical ones?

- Why do 24-hour shops bother having locks on their doors?

If you can't wait to read the book to find the answers, I have provided small excerpts (less than 10%) of the book content (including answers to above 3 questions) at: www.timetravelnotes.blogspot.com

The economic principles that answer them may reveal why many of the most puzzling parts of everyday life actually makes perfect (economic) sense.

The short answers in layman terms make this book easy-to-read and a page-turner. There are more than 120 intriguing questions in this informative book.
