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

讀後感
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...
評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...

評分这本书和《苹果桔子经济学》最大的不同是，它里面所用的理论，都是瞎猜的，全没有研究证明。 瞎猜可能猜错，也可能猜对，包括一些瞎猜非常有道理，也非常著名，比如“为什么牛奶盒子是方形，软饮料盒子是圆柱形”。但是，读者必须了解到，这些是瞎猜！ 看到封面，当然以为是《...
評分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...
用戶評價
有意思的問答書，以經濟學的視角來解讀周遭的世界
评分比較不喜歡這些經濟學快餐書。適閤作為初級微觀的課外讀物
评分簡單易懂
评分挺有意思的視角
评分配閤Microeconomics課程看的閑書，剛開始挺有趣的，到後來有些例子分析的感覺韆篇一律，再加上有點文化差異，三星半吧。
