About the book

Why does popcorn cost so much at the movies? When does it make sense not to recycle? Steven Landsburg demystifies the economics of everyday behaviour in these witty and accessible essays. He examines everything from taxes, unemployment and illiteracy to the mating game, the death penalty and environmentalism.

First sentence: Most of economics can be summarized in four words: "People respond to incentives."
