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

评分我这辈子最不会做的事情就是跟钱打交道（至少直到现在为止），所以让我读一本经济学书籍，实际上我是拒绝的，今年读过《冲突的战略》（讲博弈论的），结果剩了三分之二宣告失败，就连读过的三分之一都完全处在云里雾里。 偶然之间去朋友的书店，看到畅销书里排名前十的这本《...
评分 评分今天刚刚把《牛奶可乐经济学》这本书看完。书是在当当网上购买的。说起当当网，只要有网上购书经验的童鞋都不会陌生，经常和当当一起被提及的，还有卓越网。在这两个网上购书多了，也渐渐发现一个情况。以豆瓣今天推荐的书来说吧：四本书，其中有三本（包括《圈》、《麦》...
评分1. 机会成本：从事一项活动的机会成本是指你为了从事这件事而放弃其他事情的价值。 2. 折扣门槛。一般商家对商品都是有折扣的，但也设置了相应的折扣门槛，比如需要收集优惠券等，如果你是一个对金钱敏感的消费者的话，那么你收集优惠券所花费的时间的机会成本对你来说就很少了...
