Ask a dozen talking heads about how the economy works and what
course of action we should take and you''ll get thirteen different
answers. But what if we possessed a handful of basic principles
that could guide our decisions--both the personal ones about what
to buy and how to spend but also those national ones that have been
capturing the headlines? Robert H. Frank, a.k.a. the Economic
Naturalist has been illustrating those principles longer and more
clearly than anyone else. In "The Economic Naturalist''s Field
Guide," he reveals how they play out in Washington, on Wall Street,
and in our own lives, covering everything from tax policy to
financial investment to everyday decisions about saving and
spending. In today''s uncertain economic climate, "The Economic
Naturalist''s Field Guide"''s insights have more bearing on our
pocketbooks, policies, and personal happiness than ever. --This
