Synopsis
The Armchair Economist: Economics and Everyday Life is a 1993 economics book written by noted professor of economics Steven Landsburg. The underlying theme of the book, as Landsburg states on the first page, is that "[m]ost of economics can be summarized in four words: People respond to incentives. " With this apparently innocuous observation, Landsburg discusses some unexpected effects of various policies such as automobile safety legislation and environmental policies.
