Overshooting, Tipping Points, and ABBA

By Cardiff Garcia

The Indicator from Planet Money

We’re trying a new thing (for us): We ask guests to tell us about something they read that changed how they see the world.

Today, Diane Coyle — an economist who writes a blog about economics books — tells us about Micromotives and Macrobehavior by Thomas Schelling.

Coyle says it’s helped her understand everything from why it’s so hard to get the water temperature in the shower just right to why ABBA wore such ostentatious costumes on stage.
