简介

Life sometimes seems illogical. Individuals do strange things: take drugs, have unprotected sex, mug each other. Love seems irrational, and so does divorce. On a larger scale, life seems no fairer or easier to fathom: Why do some neighborhoods thrive and others become ghettos? Why is racism so persistent? Why is your idiot boss paid a fortune for sitting behind a mahogany altar? Thorny questions–and you might be surprised to hear the answers coming from an economist.

内容推荐

This morning, I strapped my two-year-old daughter into her buggy and walked her to the toddlers' art club at our local community centre. Our Hackney neighbourhood is rough around the edges. A town planner might raise an eyebrow at the mechanic's yard, piled high with wrecks, at the end of a row of terraced houses. A sociologist might draw your attention to the betting shops and massage parlours, or the pool of dried-up vomit in the gutter outside our local bar. A novelist might linger descriptively on the bunch of dead flowers, bleached and desiccated in the bright June sunshine; they were propped forlornly against the wall of a notorious nightclub, commemorating a young man who was recently shot dead.
