Why We Do What We Do: Economics in Daily Life

By: Musa, Dasauki

"Why We Do What We Do: Economics in Daily Life" shows how economic thinking explains everyday human behavior beyond markets and money, demonstrating that choices related to politics, crime, health, education, energy use, and social interactions are shaped by incentives, constraints, trade-offs, and expectations. Integrating political economy, public choice, behavioral economics, and environmental and energy economics, the book uses clear explanations and real-world examples to reveal the hidden logic behind voting behavior, policy decisions, social outcomes, and individual choices. Written for students, policymakers, and general readers, it presents economics as a practical and accessible framework for understanding why people and institutions behave the way they do-and how those behaviors ultimately shape society and daily life.
