Economist Robert H. Frank says Charles Darwin, not Adam Smith, will be remembered as the father of modern economics. Robert Frank is a professor at Cornell University and a "behavioral economist." He looks at how human nature guides the financial choices we make in everyday life, from children's birthday parties to high–end outdoor gas grills. Robert Frank's latest book is a collection of his New York Times columns called "The Economic Naturalist's Field Guide: Common Sense Principles for Troubled Times." He spoke at Town Hall in Seattle on June 22, 2009. Town Hall Center for Civic Life and Elliott Bay Book Company sponsored the talk.
