Homo Economicus

A humorous lecture about the only science that really matters. Are you a human? Do you breathe? Congratulations, then you are an economist. Whether you want to or not. In his new show ‘Homo Economicus’ Kamal Kharmach proves that not chemistry, not physics, but economics is the most important science in the world. Expect no boring numbers, but the economics of us. Of people of flesh and blood. The result? A furiously interesting and relaxing lecture that changes your view of humanity forever. Kamal holds up a mirror to us. Based on stunning insights and scientific facts, he dissects our daily behavior. With his energetic storytelling style and economic precision, he answers questions you didn't even know you had: Does money really make you happy (and from what amount do we become unhappy again)? Are doctors healers or secret money-grabbers? Why is paying for a daycare actually an economically stupid idea? Is there a bizarre link between biology and your bank account: do you earn more when you ovulate? How do pizzas ensure fewer traffic deaths? And can you really see a stock market crash coming by the length of the skirts on the street? This is ‘edutainment’ at the highest level. You go home with insights that turn your view of the world upside down.
