Summary of William Poundstone's Priceless

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The theory of coherent arbitrariness states that consumers don't know what anything should cost. They walk the supermarket aisles in a half-conscious daze, judging prices from cues. Buyers are mainly sensitive to relative differences, not absolute prices. #2 The process of pricing a product is a lot more complicated than it seems.
Prices are used to convey the desires of our hearts into the public language of numbers, which is a surprisingly difficult process.
