Professor Robert H. Frank asks his students to pose and figure out the economic reasons behind the little oddities of modern life.
Examples: why baseball managers wear uniforms while basketball coaches wear suits, why drive-up ATM machines have Braille keypads, and why hotel minbars are so expensive. His book teaches economic thinking through dozens of such questions (with reasoned answers) sorted into 11 chapters that address fundamental principles.
