书籍介绍
Have you ever wondered why there is a light in your fridge but not in your freezer? Or why 24-hour shops bother having locks on their doors? Or why soft drink cans are cylindrical, but milk cartons are square? The answer is simple: economics. For years, economist Robert Frank has been encouraging his students to ask questions about the conundrums and strange occurrences they encounter in everyday life and to try to explain them using economics. Now in this bestselling book, he shares the most intriguing – and bizarre – questions and the economic principles that answer them to reveal why many of the most puzzling parts of everyday life actually make perfect (economic) sense.

不想再要这个在读的burden了。因为在读它导致错过了很多心血来潮想看的好书。今天终于把它还给老师了。是一本入门的好书，但我一直带着怀疑的眼光在读，体验就不那么好了。再加上之前用的教科书也是他合作编写的，很多例子都看到过很多次了。也许抱着这样的心态读书本是不好的，但也只能说是我与他缘分不够了
前面的故事比较有意思，后面就有些重复了。总的来说，还是比较基础的一些经济学原理。
很生活，很简单，很准确，但读到后面就有点索然
看起来很轻松。解释问题有时候很生硬。总体对于我这种白痴还是耳目一新的。
比较适合经济刚入门的时候看，现在看起来已经觉得太浅且啰嗦了。不过很能激起人刻意想个economic naturalist一样思考问题~
虽然是比较入门的经济学读物，但是作者economic naturalist 的观察视角让人很有启发
后面好无聊
The last chapter is basically a summary of the whole book. The examples are good and the book overall worth a read. Academia is based on questions asked, weird or not.
why lawyers try to look fancier? film ticket's price bundle strategy is different in various cultures? westerners will avoid paying evenly, but separately? Is blue/ white collars' salary quite similar? almost everywhere, the girl plays better football then men, but still can not get enough attention and well paid. wisdom follows us.
一本不错的外语入门读物
虽然有些词句还不太能理解，但是大概意思能看懂
也学习了很多日常中的经济学小知识
