Spousonomics – Book Review

? The publisher provided me with a free copy of this book for review. Spousonomics: Using Economics to Master Love, Marriage, and Dirty Dishes as you might guess from the title this book tries to apply economics to help you improve your marriage. It doesn’t seem very romantic to compare your marriage to a business but in some cases it just might work. The main thing I liked about this book is their explanations of basic economic terms. They give simple explanations of things such as division of labor, comparative advantage, loss aversion, supply and demand, moral hazard and more. I haven’t actually tried to apply any of the ideas to improve my marriage and I’m somewhat skeptical if they would actually work. I do plan on keeping the book and giving it more study to see how I might use their ideas. Perhaps I’ll even let my wife read the book even though if she reads the chapter on division of labor I’ll probably have to do more around the house. To me this book is basically an introduction to economics with a little relationship advice thrown in. If that sounds like a good combination to you then head over to Amazon and check it out.
