Maybe Next Semester
I just order the book Spousonomics after hearing an interview with the authors on Marketplace. If this book is any good, next year I will use it for Econ 106.
Topics covered match the course outline for the class. According to the table of contents on Amazon and on their website, topics in the book are 1) Division of Labor 2) Incentives 3)Supply and Demand and 4) Moral Hazard.
