Economics book prizes

As a prize for sustained effort over the year, a number of Economics students received a copy of Robert Frank's Why Economics Explains Almost Everything.

The book makes a bold claim through its title – which may be slightly exaggerated. But the book is challenging and intelligent, yet remains accessible.

This book helps you discover the secrets behind hundreds of everyday enigmas. Why is there a light in your fridge but not in your freezer? Why do 24-hour shops bother having locks on their doors? Why did Kamikaze pilots wear helmets? The answer is simple: economics. Economics doesn't just happen in classrooms or international banks. It is everywhere and influences everything we do and see, from the cinema screen to the streets. It can even explain some of life's most intriguing enigmas. For years, economist Robert Frank has been encouraging his students to use economics to explain the strange situations they encounter in everyday life
