Overview

"This is a one-of-a-kind journey into the consumer-driven coma we have succumbed to.Why does no one blink when they are charged almost two pounds for a cup of coffee? Why do grown men sleep on the street overnight to buy video game systems? Why is it that your child can often speak a brand name before your own? ""Stand-up economist"" Sam Pocker delves into these hard-hitting questions-and the result is a fascinating, wry, and amusing account of consumers' nonsensical habits and the stores that prey upon them."
