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

读后感
高中的校长曾经在入学典礼上说，许多中国人都喜欢玄学，越是听不懂看不懂的，他越觉得深刻牛逼越觉得你有学问，你把事情给解释清楚了，他反倒不觉的你有知识了。真的学问在于能把一件复杂的事情简单化。 当年听到这番话时，好像被大锤子敲了一下完全懵住了，如此赤裸裸的撕去知...
评分两周前自卓越网上购买了美国康奈尔大学管理学院罗伯特•弗兰克教授教授所著的《牛奶可乐经济学》的中译本，不到三个晚上已经看完。作为不曾接触过经济学的普通读者，我由衷感谢教授所著的这本书，他用日常可见的经济现象解说经济学原理，通过诸如牛奶和可乐不同形状的包装形...
评分“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...

用户评价
有意思的问答书，以经济学的视角来解读周遭的世界
评分配合Microeconomics课程看的闲书，刚开始挺有趣的，到后来有些例子分析的感觉千篇一律，再加上有点文化差异，三星半吧。
评分from 3/29/2016 to 4/11/2016 问题是有趣的问题，但回答里对经济学概念的融汇和解释常常不到位
评分Reading now. It seems pretty interesting.
评分The witty answers are as fun they are plausible.
