We shell out  $2.29 for coffee at Starbucks when a nearly identical brew can be had  at the corner deli for less than a dollar. We may be less willing to  give blood for $25 than to donate it for free. And we pay someone to  cart away trash that would be a valuable commodity in poorer parts of  the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Price of Everything\u003c\/i\u003e starts with a simple premise: there is  a price behind each choice, whether we're deciding to have a baby,  drive a car, or buy a book. We often fail to appreciate just how  critical prices are as motivating forces. But their power becomes clear  when distorted prices steer our decisions the wrong way. Eduardo Porter  uncovers the true story behind the prices we pay and reveals what those  prices are actually telling us.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Portfolio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43381612249343,"sku":"9781591844273","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781591844273_s600x595.jpg?v=1777307349","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781591844273","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
