Contemporary Film and Economics: Lights! Camera! Econ!

What does the movie Lion tell us about why some societies grow rich and others remain poor? What can the box office juggernaut Jurassic World tell us about entrepreneurs and the ethics of business? This book surveys nearly 40 movies to answer these questions and explore key economic concepts such as profit maximization, greed, and monopoly.
