  <itunes:subtitle>You're shivering, huddled under your thin, discount-store jacket as the winter wind slices through it. Meanwhile, a woman walks by, snug and warm in her expensive, high-quality coat that will last her for years. It dawns on you: she pays more upfront, yet less in the long run.

This is the Boots Theory of Economics.</itunes:subtitle>
