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

我家对面有两个店，一个是小超市，另一个也是小超市。所不同的是一个朝九晚五，一个从不打烊，后者叫“36524便利店”，大街小巷都有分店，而前者这么多年依旧是一个小超市。我已开始也不理解“35624”的经营策略，就拿我家对面的这个店来说，明明处于一条很僻静的小街道，虽说...
評分博物经济学，就是用经济学的概念去理解日常生活中的某些现象的一种思维方式。这种思维方式建立在经济学的简单常识上，试图通过基本的推理去理解并解释事物的本质。这种方法所得的结论不在于对错，而在于发现事物的合理性，增加理解和预判。经常性地运用这种思维方式，会是非常...

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《...
用戶評價
簡單易懂
评分Using economics to explain real life phenomenon. Worth Reading.
评分The witty answers are as fun they are plausible.
评分from 3/29/2016 to 4/11/2016 問題是有趣的問題，但迴答裏對經濟學概念的融匯和解釋常常不到位
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。
