Description
The Undercover Economist by Tim Harford is a fresh explanation of the fundamental principles of the modern economy, illuminated by examples from everyday life. By looking at familiar situations in unfamiliar ways, Harford reveals 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. This revised edition of the bestselling book leaves behind textbook jargon and equations, providing a clear and concise guide to understanding the modern economy.
