  Why Superman Doesn't Take Over...

  Why do heroes fight each other? Why do villains keep trying even though they almost never win? Why don't heroes simply take over the world? 
  Economics and comic books seem to be a world apart. But in the hands of economics professor and comic hero aficionado J. Brian O'Roark, the two form a powerful alliance. With brilliant deadpan enthusiasm he shows how the travails of superheroes can explain the building blocks of economics, and how the laws of economics explain the mysteries of superhero behavior. 
  Superman has a day job because of elastic demand; Spiderman's existential doubts are all about opportunity cost; game theory sheds light on the battle between Captain America and Iron Man; the Peltzmann effect makes sense of why heroes can go to the bad; sunk cost fallacy explains The Flash's tragic dilemmas; the utility curve helps us decide who is the greatest superhero of all. 
  Why Superman Doesn't Take Over The World: What Superheroes Can Tell Us About Economics probes the motivations of our favorite heroes, and considers what it would look like if their stories played out in reality.

  The author of How Not to Become a Little Old Lady returns with a guide to recognizing the signs and symptoms of being a grumpy old guy!A crotchety old man decided to wash his sweatshirt. He threw it in the washing machine and yelled to his wife, “What setting do I use?” His wife asked, “What does it say on the shirt?” He yelled back, “University of Texas.” If this man sounds like someone you know, chances are he’s a crotchety old man! We all have a crotchety old man in our lives. Maybe he’s your father, your grandfather, your brother, your husband—or (though you'd never admit it) even you! Crotchety old men stand in the middle of the kitchen and say “Where’s the butter?” They buy cans of broken cashews because they’re cheaper. They yell at news anchors on television, and believe “You look OK” is a compliment. This lighthearted celebration of grumpy old men provides 250 hilarious truths about cranky, crusty old guys who would rather spend days trying to build something than read the instructions. Also included is charming and humorous art by Adrienne Hartman.
