«The Economic Naturalist: Why Economics Explains Almost Everything» is an economics essay by Robert H. Frank, published by Virgin Books in paperback.
Robert H. Frank brings together everyday puzzles —milk in rectangular cartons, soft drinks in cylindrical cans, the light in the fridge but not the freezer— and shows that economics explains the hidden logic behind these small mysteries.
Originally published in 2008, the book has 256 pages and is written entirely in English.
Suitable for general readers, students and professionals who want to discover economics through everyday situations.
Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known by his pen name Lewis Carroll, was an English author, poet, mathematician, photographer and reluctant Anglican deacon. His most notable works are Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass (1871), some of the most important examples of Victorian literature. He was noted for his facility with word play, logic, and fantasy. His poems Jabberwocky (1871) and The Hunting of the Snark (1876) are classified in the genre of literary nonsense. Some of Alice's nonsensical wonderland logic reflects his published work on mathematical logic.
