“Building on the success of the first volume, Kiasunomics^©2 has returned to explain, in clear and simple prose, how economic principles shape our everyday lives, and influence the decisions we make.Kiasunomics^©2 explores many topics near and dear to many Singaporeans — public housing, education, and even shopping! The book also wonderfully illustrates how exciting and original research can help us better understand our ever-changing environment, and guide us to make better and more informed choices.”

“The authors have mastered the knack of explaining complex behavioural economics concepts in language that is easy for a layman to understand. They contextualise these insights to Singapore, which make them even more relevant. Their research is first-rate, and the insights interesting. A great follow-up to Kiasunomics©!”

“Economics comes alive in our daily behaviour and decisions. Using the life journey of the protagonist Teng from his birth to adulthood, the authors adopted an easy conversational style to describe common decisions we all made to minimise living costs, optimise opportunities and maximise investment potential. It is a lighthearted yet so-real rendition of how we effectively manage our ‘kiasuism’ and fear of missing out on anything.”
