“Richard McKenzie's latest book “Why Popcorn Costs So Much at the Movies... and Other Pricing Puzzles” (Springer, 2008) is an absolute whiz to read and learn from, like his 1975 tour de force “The New World of Economics”... I write to thank you for your most recent book which I have read and am rereading. It is wonderful. I use that term not because I am bereft of more formal and high sounding adjectives but because it is, for me at least, accurate.” 28 August 2008 (Brent Wheeler, Brent Wheeler Limited)
“I read about . . . your new book ‘Why Popcorn Costs So Much at the Movies’, which is excellent, by the way--much better than a lot of the other new econ books out there trying to explain everything.” 4 September 2008 (Mark Skousen, Benjamin Franklin Chair of Management, Grantham University, Author of ‘The Big Three in Economics: Adam Smith, Karl Marx, and John Maynard Keynes’)
This entertaining book seeks to unravel an array of pricing puzzles from the one captured in the book’s title to why so many prices end with "9" (as in $2.99 or $179). Along the way, the author explains how the 9/11 terrorists have, through the effects of their heinous acts on the relative prices of various modes of travel, killed more Americans since 9/11 than they killed that fateful day. He also explains how well-meaning efforts to spur the use of alternative, supposedly environmentally friendly fuels have starved millions of people around the world and given rise to the deforestation of rainforests in Malaysia and Indonesia.
