The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert

Tres artistas de cabaret que viven en Sidney son contratadas para actuar durante cuatro semanas en un hotel de Alice Springs, en medio del desierto rojo de Australia. Les espera una gran aventura, pero una cosa es atravesar el país en autobús, dejando atrás todos sus problemas, y otra llegar a su destino sanas y salvas. Sobre todo, si Felicia y Mitzi son reinas del drag y Benardette transexual. Inician así un periplo de dos semanas, con música sonando a toda pastilla y el autocar repleto de un llamativo vestuario y zapatos de plataforma.

Throughout the book, economist Andrew Caplin provides new approaches to help scholars collaborate and solve problems that can shape economic outcomes and bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and the real world. Divided into two parts, the first section brings readers up to speed on economic concepts that underlie decision-making mistakes, such as utility functions, subjective beliefs, and costs of learning.

Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations: New interdisciplinary essays

Few works of economic and political analysis have exerted a more profound influence on European, American and latterly world economic and social policy than Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations.
