Discover Your Inner Economist by Tyler Cowen

How do you find a good ethnic restaurant in a new town? Is it right from an economics perspective to give to beggars? Can you enjoy billions without spending it? The book attempts to answer these questions. Honestly, the writing is seems a bit scatterbrained and disorganized, but still it is interesting in parts. And some of the answers make sense. An interesting point is that attention and time are really the scarce items in modern western society.
