This entertaining way to learn economics "will delight and inform anyone who enjoys rigorous thinking and the unexpected conclusions it delivers" (Jamie Whyte, author of Crimes Against Logic).

In this whip-smart, entertaining, and entirely unconventional economics primer, he brings together over one hundred puzzles and brain teasers that illustrate the subject's key concepts and pitfalls. From warm-up exercises to get your brain working, to logic and probability problems, to puzzles covering more complex topics like inferences, strategy, and irrationality, Can You Outsmart an Economist? will show you how to do just that by expanding the way you think about decision making and problem solving. Let the games begin!
