The Return Of The Economic Naturalist: How Economics Makes Sense of Your World |
This collection of newspaper columns inhabits a similar realm to 'Freakonomics' (bwl 48) in that pure economic examinations of everyday problems can provide us with simple, if often counter-intuitive, solutions. Although looking primarily at American issues the examples given and the questions posed are still intriguing and relevant enough to provide a fascinating and informative book in bite-size chunks. Best of all there's not a graph or equation in sight which is always a bonus for some!
