Homer Economics: The Simpsons and Economics

摘要

This book is a collection of essays from several economists discussing how various economic concepts can be applied to situations in The Simpsons. With 26 seasons and 563 episodes under its belt, The Simpsons certainly has plenty of material to choose from. Despite its relative age, The Simpsons is a show that undergraduates still watch and thus understand its references. There are several classic episodes that all Simpsons fans have seen and memorized, and these shows make up the bulk of the examples used in the book.
