Description
The Economic Naturalist: Why Economics Explains Almost Everything Economics is all around us, influencing the way we live and interact with the world. From the design of everyday products to the motivations behind human behaviour, economics can help explain many of life's most intriguing phenomena. In this book, economist Robert H. Frank explores the strange and often counterintuitive ways in which economics shapes our daily experiences. From the peculiarities of product design to the complexities of human relationships, Frank reveals how economic principles can help make sense of the world around us. With a keen eye for observation and a deep understanding of economic theory, he shows how the principles of economics can be used to explain a wide range of everyday enigmas.
