Book Subtitle: Why Economics Explains Almost Everything
Book Description: Have you ever wondered why there is a light in your fridge but not in your freezer? Or why 24-hour shops bother having locks on their doors? Or why soft drink cans are cylindrical, but milk cartons are square? The answer is simple: economics.For years, economist Robert Frank has been encouraging his students to ask questions about the conundrums and strange occurrences they encounter in everyday life and to try to explain them using economics. Now in this bestselling book, he shares the most intriguing - and bizarre - questions and the economic principles that answer them to reveal why many of the most puzzling parts of everyday life actually make perfect (economic) sense.
Editorial Review: "After science, the other gaping hole in my education is economics. Ever since the runaway success of Steven Levitt's Freakonomics five years ago, there has been a rash of books eager to persuade people that economics is cool. This is the latest. Frank, a professor at Cornell University, bases his manual on frequently asked questions from students (not necessarily economics students) and relates his answers to economics. Why are milk cartons rectangular and drinks cans cylindrical? Why is it easier for a guy to pull if he already has a partner? Why are brown eggs more expensive than white ones... But for Jeff Harding's feisty reading, I wouldn't have bothered to find out, but yes... it's fascinating." Sue Arnold, The Guardian (audiobook review) "Fascinating... provides the answers to some of life's quirkiest conundrums." The Daily Mail "Explains how cold, hard cash really does make our world go round." The Independent."
About the Author: Robert H. Frank received his M.A. in statistics from the University of California at Berkeley in 1971, and his Ph.D. in economics in 1972, also from U.C. Berkeley. He is the Goldwin Smith Professor of Economics at Cornell University, where he has taught since 1972 and where he currently holds a joint appointment in the department of economics and the Johnson Graduate School of Management. He has published on a variety of subjects, including price and wage discrimination, public utility pricing, the measurement of unemployment spell lengths, and the distributional consequences of direct foreign investment. For the past several years, his research has focused on rivalry and cooperation in economic and social behaviour.
