Description
The Armchair Economist: Economics and Everyday Life by Steven E. Landsburg Economics is often seen as a dry subject, but Steven E. Landsburg shows that it can be surprisingly relevant to our everyday lives. In this book, Landsburg explores how the laws of economics reveal themselves in everyday experience, illuminating the entire range of human behavior. From the high cost of popcorn at the cinema to the surprising reasons why some goods are sold at auction and others at pre-announced prices, Landsburg reveals the fundamental laws of human behavior that underlie these phenomena. He explains why certain businesses behave in certain ways, and why some people make certain choices. This is a book of surprises, offering a fresh perspective on the world around us.
