Robert Frank on Economics Education and the Economic Naturalist

Author Robert Frank talks about economic education and his recent book, The Economic Naturalist. Frank argues that the traditional way of teaching economics via graphs and equations often fails to make any impression on students. In this conversation with host Russ Roberts, Frank outlines an alternative approach from his new book. Topics include tuxedos vs. wedding dresses, civility in NYC, vending machines, the tragedy of the commons, and the economics of love.
