Description

One of America's most respected economists presents a quirky, incisive romp through everyday life that reveals how you can turn economic reasoning to your advantage. Tyler Cowen shows how economic notions apply far more widely than merely to the decisions of social planners, governments, and big business. With a wryly amusing voice, Cowen reveals the hidden economic patterns behind everyday situations so you can get more of what you really want. Readers will also gain insights into how to be a good partner, neighbor, and citizen of the world. Incentives are at the core of an economic approach to the world, and Discover Your Inner Economist is an introduction to the science of economics that shows it to be built on notions that are already within all of us. While the implications of those ideas lead to Cowen's often counterintuitive advice, their wisdom is presented in ordinary examples taken from home life, work life, and even vacation life. Sorry!
