史蒂文.兰兹伯格写的通俗经济学读物，将价格理论用于解释生活中的各种事情。和魔鬼经济学等风格类似。本书为英文版，共235页。中文版即中信出版社出版的《买房子还是买股票》，但翻译质量堪忧，不如读原版的，或者可以用原版书做印证之用。    O(∩_∩)O~
      "An ingenious and highly original presentation of some central principles of economics for the proverbial Everyman. Its breezy tone conceals the subtlety of the analysis. Guaranteed to puncture some illusions and to make you think."
—MILTON FRIEDMAN
       "The Armchair Economist is a wonderful little book, written by someone for whom English is a first (and beloved) language, and it contains not a single graph or equation...Landsburg presents fascinating concepts in a form easily accessible to noneconomists."
—ERIK M. JENSEN
