Book Description:
Economics is everywhere. It's in business. It's in government. It's in
our personal lives. Now, a groundbreaking textbook supplement brings
this reality to the classroom: Economics in Film and Fiction. This book
uses both contemporary and classic films and literature to illustrate
thirty-three fundamental concepts in introductory economics. Designed
for use in introductory economics courses, this clearly organized text
brings both sides of the lectern closer together through real life
illustrations of economic concepts in such favorites as Jaws, Legally
Blonde, Casablanca, The Great Gatsby, The Scarlet Letter and The Da
Vinci Code.
