Frost's famous The Road Not Taken is as good an exploration of the economist's idea of opportunity cost as you might wish for. Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening touches on the same subject and, for me, is a far more haunting poem. Then there's Mending Wall, an inquiry into whether property rights make for a civilised society - do good fences really make good neighbours? I realise I am not winning Robert Frost any new fans here.Tim Harford unearths economics in unexpected places, including the poems of Robert Frost (poems) and in 9 other books.
