Have you ever wondered what Adam Smith would have to say about you playing the lottery? Or whether Jeremy Bentham could cure your hangover (through economics)? Ever pondered over what Milton Friedman might get you for Christmas?
By comparing and contrasting what the greatest economists of all time would have to say about 40 questions from your everyday life, What Would Keynes Do? will help you get to grips with all the important economic theories in an original and thought-provoking way.
Includes such puzzling conundrums as:
-Should I park in an illegal parking space and risk a fine?
-Should I go to University or start working straight away?
-Should I leave my children all my wealth after my death or spread it out throughout my life?
-Should I ever commit a crime?
-If I enjoy drinking beer, how much should I drink?
-Is it OK to be selfish?
-Should I vote for a political party which promises to raise taxes?
