Product Information
Who makes most money from the demand for cappuccinos early in the morning at Waterloo Station Why is it impossible to get a foot on the property ladder How does the Mafia make money from laundries when street gangs pushing drugs don't Who really benefits from immigration How can China, in just fifty years, go from the world's worst famine to one of the greatest economic revolutions of all time, lifting a million people out of poverty a month Looking at familiar situations in unfamiliar ways, THE UNDERCOVER ECONOMIST is a fresh explanation of the fundamental principles of the modern economy, illuminated by examples from the streets of London to the booming skyscrapers of Shanghai to the sleepy canals of Bruges. Leaving behind textbook jargon and equations, Tim Harford will reveal the games of signals and negotiations, contests of strength and battles of wit that drive not only the economy at large but the everyday choices we make.

Reviews
Praise for The "Undercover Economist": " Required reading." -- Steven Levitt, author of Freakonomics " A playful guide to the economics of everyday life, and as such. . . something of an elder sibling to Steven Levitt's wild child, the hugely successful Freakonomics." -- "The Economist" " A book to savor." -- "The New York Times" " The Undercover Economist is a book you must pick up if you want a fresh perspective on how basic ideas in economics can help in answering the most complex and perplexing questions about the world around us." -- "Business Today" " Anyone mystified by how the world works will benefit from this book - especially anyone confused about why good intentions don' t, necessarily, translate into good results." -- "The Daily Telegraph" (UK) " Harford writes like a dream- and is also one of the leading economic thinkers of his generation. From his book I found out why there's a Starbucks on every corner, what Bob Geldof needs to learn to make development aid work properly, and how not to get duped in an auction. Reading The Undercover Economist is like spending an ordinary day wearing X-ray goggles." -- David Bodanis, author of E=mc2 and Electric Universe " Popular economics is not an oxymoron, and here is the proof. This book, by the Financial Times columnist Tim Harford, is as lively and witty an introduction to the supposedly " dismal science" as you are likely to read." -- "The Times", " Required reading." -- Steven Levitt, author of Freakonomics " A playful guide to the economics of everyday life, and as such. . . something of an elder sibling to Steven Levitt's wild child, the hugely successful Freakonomics." -- "The Economist" " A book to savor." -- "The New York Times" " The Undercover Economist is a book you must pick up if you want a fresh perspective on how basic ideas in economics can help in answering the most complex and perplexing questions about the world around us." -- "Business Today" " Anyone mystified by how the world works will benefit from this book - especially anyone confused about why good intentions don' t, necessarily, translate into good results." -- "The Daily Telegraph" (UK) " Harford writes like a dream - and is also one of the leading economic thinkers of his generation.

His chapters come in bite-size sections, with wacky sub-headings. His style is breezy and no-nonsense. . . . The Undercover Economist" "is part primer, part consciousness raiser, part self-help manual." --"Times Literary Supplement" "Anyone mystified by how the world works will benefit from this book - especially anyone confused about why good intentions don't, necessarily, translate into good results." --"The Daily Telegraph" (UK) "Harford writes like a dream - and is also one of the leading economic thinkers of his generation.
