looking at Chapters from the book to gain a deeper understanding of its content:
An Explanatory NoteIn which the origins of this book are clarified.IntroductionIn which the book’s central idea is set forth: namely, if morality represents how people would like the world to work, then economics shows how it actually does work.Chapter 1: What Do School Teachers and Sumo Wrestlers Have in Common?In which we explore the beauty of incentives, as well as their dark side: cheating.Chapter 2: How Is the Ku Klux Klan Like a Group of Real-Estate Agents?In which it is argued that nothing is more powerful than information, especially when its power is abused.Chapter 3: Why Do Drug Dealers Still Live with Their Moms?In which the conventional wisdom is often found to be a web of fabrication, self-interest, and convenience.Chapter 4: Where Have All the Criminals Gone?In which the facts of crime are sorted out from the fictions.Chapter 5: What Makes a Perfect Parent?In which we ask, from a variety of angles, a pressing question: do parents really matter?Chapter 6: Would a Roshanda by Any Other Name Smell as Sweet?In which we weigh the importance of a parent’s first official act: naming the baby.

initial ideas
objects:
stand alone object to represent a everyday situation we deal with - tooth brush, brush with hair in it.
though i like the simplicity of this idea, i dont think it easily communicates the many issues covered in the book and is too simple/subtle to understand (concept is not complex enough)
to make the concept stronger and represent the idea of the varied economist issues mentioned in the book, could still use subtle contemporary object but combine it with other objects to visually communicate the issues of everyday issues/questions - toothbrush next to a pregnancy test, test to a carrot, next to some hand-cuffs, in the hope this will be confusing and random to the viewer and make them intrigued to find out what the book is about and how the objects can be placed together and still make sense.
box of chocolates:
basing this idea on the saying 'life is a box of chocolates' to represent how there is many different issues in life that we have to face or come across.
changing the chocolates to other objects to connote the issues: to make the concept stronger and the meaning more straight forward, i could play around with using other shaped objects/ or chocolates shaped as the objects in the chocolate spaces such as drugs, a dice (connote cheating) condoms, money, key(to connote real estate) traffic lights, guns, etc.
