Whether preparing us for economic recovery after the zombie
apocalypse, analyzing vampire investment strategies, or
illuminating the market forces that affect vampire-human romances,
Economics of the Undead: Zombies, Vampires, and the Dismal Science
gives both seasoned economists and layman readers something to sink
their teeth into. Undead characters have terrified popular
audiences for centuries, but when analyzed closely, their behaviors
and stories-however farfetched-mirror our own in surprising ways.
The essays collected in this book are as humorous as they are
thoughtful, as culturally relevant as they are economically sound,
and provide an accessible link between a popular culture phenomenon
and the key concepts necessary to building one's understanding of
economic systems big and small. It is the first book to apply and
combine economics and our society's fascination with the undead,
and is an invaluable resource for those looking to learn economic
fundamentals in a fun and innovative way. Contributions by: Kyle
