Why do many Indians pray before driving a car but not wear a seat belt? Why does it make sense to pay your maid more than the minimum wage? What does a box of cereal and your CV have in common? An expert uncovers the economic principles underpinning intriguing human behaviour and explains why it makes sense to make certain choices that may at first appear irrational.
