question 28

Short Answer

Evaluate the following argument, adapted from the economist Allison Schrager: "Many Americans would be healthier if they got more exercise, but they have trouble motivating themselves to go to the gym. Most people would go to the gym more often if they were paying a lot of money for their gym membership. Therefore, most people would be healthier if they joined a very expensive gym."
