WTF?! An Economic Tour of the Weird with Peter Leeson

Join a cast of colorful characters as they navigate a museum of the world's weirdest practices, led by guide and economist Peter T. Leeson. From one exhibit to the next, you'll overhear Leeson's riotous exchanges with the patrons and learn how to use economic thinking to reveal the hidden sense behind seemingly senseless behavior--including your own. Leeson sows that far from "irrational" or "accidents of history," humanity's most outlandish rituals are ingenious solutions to pressing problems--developed by clever people, driven by incentives, and tailor-made for their time and place. Can you handle getting schooled by the strange? Better hurry; the tour is about to start!
