«Scroogenomics: Why You Shouldn't Buy Presents for the Holidays» is the economic essay by Joel Waldfogel, from Princeton University Press, in hardcover.
Joel Waldfogel analyzes Christmas spending on gifts from an economic perspective: when buying for others there is less information about their tastes, so the value of what is given is usually lower than its price. That deadweight loss amounts to billions of dollars every winter. The book proposes alternatives to avoid waste.
Work originally published in 2009; this edition has 192 pages and is in English.
Accessible approach without technical jargon, suitable for readers interested in consumer economics and Christmas shopping.
