Wondering Out Loud: The Hidden Incentives Behind Everyday Life

Why does airport food cost so much? Why do we fall for discounts? Why do people chase the latest iPhone, spend hours doomscrolling, or wait eagerly for a 10-minute delivery?In this thoughtful and relatable debut, Sananya Choubey, a 17 year old, explores the economics hidden within everyday life. Through personal stories, observations, and real-world examples, she uncovers the forces that quietly shape our choices, habits, and decisions.From classrooms and coaching centres to cricket stadiums, stock markets, shopping apps, and social media feeds, this book goes beyond textbook definitions to reveal economics as something deeply human.It is a journey of questioning, learning, and seeing familiar things in a new light.Because sometimes the most interesting economics isn't found in charts and graphs, it's found in the ordinary moments experience we every day. And perhaps, the questions that change us are the ones we dare to ask.
