評分挺有意思的視角
評分Using economics to explain real life phenomenon. Worth Reading.

Robert H. Frank is a professor of Management and Professor of Economics at the Johnson Graduate School of Management, Cornell University. His "Economic Scene" column appears monthly in The New York Times. He is the author of Choosing the Right Pond, The Winner-Take-All Society, and Luxury Fever, among others. He lives in Ithaca, New York.
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》...
評分前些天和一位朋友被雨困进落成不久的某购物广场,那里劳力士、卡迪亚等等大牌荟萃独缺超市,买不到伞,于是两个穷学生不得不硬着头皮从一楼window shopping到四楼,再从四楼逛到一楼,借以打发时间。一番东张西望之后,我发现一个有趣的现象:KFC位于购物广场一楼临近街边...
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...
評分如果说这本书有什么意义的话, 那么它可能普及了一些经济学概念, 吸引人对经济学的兴趣, 如此而已. 我对这本书的总体评价应该说是相当负面的. 这本书, 在我看来, 展示的并非经济学的运用, 而是为日常现象提供一个可能的经济学解释. 而让本书失去价值的正是, 它仅仅寻求一种"可...
