Opis: Economics Uncut

Applies principles of microeconomics to unusual settings to inspire students, teachers and scholars alike in the 'dismal science'. In this book, leading experts show how economics reaches into the strangest of places and throws light onto the dark side of human nature. "'This fascinating book shows that economics can be used to understand almost every aspect of human behavior: the consumption of addictive goods, divorce, pornography, sports, religion, suicide, criminal behavior, abortion, and rock 'n' roll. The conventional wisdom is that these behaviors should be studied by sociologists and psychologists. Simon Bowmaker and his collaborators demonstrate the fallacy of this proposition with great insight and clarity. Their analysis is provocative, penetrating, profound, and always entertaining. The reader is quite likely to conclude that there is only one social science. All in all a most remarkable book.
