The Economic Approach to Human Behavior

Reading this for funI am an undergraduate student. As such, much of the mathematical work Baker presents is difficult for me to follow. (Some of which I have found myself very lost and referring to google and youtube to attempt to handle.)

Gary Becker is one of the most brilliant economists of our time, especially when it come to applying economics principles to non traditional areas. For example, Becker provides a rationale for altruistic behavior emerging in society, and he studies crime from the the perspective of a market economy of criminal activity. The book is somewhat technical, so a somewhat quantitative background is recommended.

A difficult read but comprehensive.

The world as Becker sees it. Discrimination, gay marriage, pollution, everything falls under economist Gary Becker's powerful analytical radar. Impressive

very nice book~

delievery very soon and very nice feedback from the seller.

Very interesting discriptions of old ideas and a fine example of the ability of good economists to read between the lines and numbers of those projected to authoritive status. Awards and medals go a long way in cognitive dissonance. Why is economics following psychology's fear of the very fragil human element of free will?
