A respected professor and son of Nobel Laureate Milton Friedman provides a fun and easy way for curious readers to understand basic economic ideas. Though we may not know it, we make economic decisions every day when we recycle, drive through rush hour, go on a date, play softball or bargain with our children. In "Hidden Order," David Friedman, a prominent economics scholar, shows us how to use economics to understand war, marriage, kids, crime and practically everything else (along with profits, prices, and all that stuff). Making economics accessible to everyone, this witty presentation is a perfect reference for the amateur economist.
