Synopsis
The best-selling author of The Underground Economist weaves together real-life scenarios, ranging from a Las Vegas casino to a barroom speed date, to analyze the underlying economic logic behind seemingly irrational behavior, explaining how people are responding to future costs and benefits and how socially tragic outcomes have their roots in individually rational decisions. 50,000 first printing.
