The fascinating and playful guide to how economics explains the simple but profound ideas that govern our world.
Why do the keypads on drive-up cash machines have Braille dots? Why are round-trip fares from Orlando to Kansas City higher than those from Kansas City to Orlando?
For decades, Robert Frank has been asking his economics students to pose and answer questions like these as a way of learning how economic principles operate in the real world--which they do everywhere, all the time.
Once you learn to think like an economist, all kinds of puzzling observations start to make sense. Drive-up ATM keypads have Braille dots because it's cheaper to make the same machine for both drive-up and walk-up locations. Travelers from Kansas City to Orlando pay less because they are usually price-sensitive tourists with many choices of destination, whereas travelers originating from Orlando typically choose Kansas City for specific family or business reasons.
The Economic Naturalist employs basic economic principles to answer scores of intriguing questions from everyday life, and, along the way, introduces key ideas such as the cost benefit principle, the "no cash left on the table" principle, and the law of one price. There is no more delightful and painless way of learning these fundamental principles.
"Smart, snappy and delightful. Bob Frank is one of America's best writers on economics." -- Tyler Cowen, George Mason University, and author of In Praise of Commercial Culture and What Price Fame?
"Fascinating, mind-expanding, and lots of fun." -- Steven Pinker, Harvard University, and author of The Blank Slate, How the Mind Works, and The Stuff of Thought

評分作者一直提倡这种简单的博物经济学，是不是也说明了本身见识很普通？ 1.为什么新娘通常花数千美元买一套她们永不再穿的婚纱，可新郎却往往租用便宜的礼服——哪怕以后有很多场合都可能会用得上它？ a) 因为大多数新娘在婚礼那天都希望显得漂亮又时尚，所以租赁公司必须储备大...
評分 評分“理论是灰色的，但生命之树常青。”这是我很喜欢的一位经济学家梁小民在本书的推荐序中提到的。全书由众多事例组成，是作者罗伯特·弗兰克教授的学生们从经济学视角对生活的观察，教授将其整理之后，借此阐释一些相对简单而又比较常见的经济理论。 读后，我印象较深且感觉似...
