With over one million copies sold, The Undercover Economist has been hailed        worldwide as a fantastic guide to the fundamental principles of economics. An        economist's version of The Way Things Work, this engaging volume is part Economics        101 and part expose of the economic principles lurking behind daily events,        explaining everything from traffic jams to high coffee prices.This revised edition,        newly updated to consider the banking crisis and economic turbulence of the last        four years, is essential for anyone who has wondered why the gap between rich and        poor nations is so great, or why they can't seem to find a decent second-hand car,        or how to outwit Starbucks. Senior columnist for the Financial Times Tim Harford        brings his experience and insight to bear as he ranges from Africa, Asia, Europe,        and the United States to reveal how supermarkets, airlines, and coffee chains--to        name just a few--are vacuuming money from our wallets. Harford punctures the myths        surrounding some of today's biggest controversies, including the high cost of        health-care; he reveals why certain environmental laws can put a smile on a        landlord's face; and he explains why some industries can have high profits for        innocent reasons, while in other industries something sinister is going on. Covering        an array of economic concepts including scarce resources, market power, efficiency,        price gouging, market failure, inside information, and game theory, Harford sheds        light on how these forces shape our day-to-day lives, often without our knowing        it.Showing us the world through the eyes of an economist, Tim Harford reveals that        everyday events are intricate games of negotiations, contests of strength, and        battles of wits. Written with a light touch and sly wit, The Undercover Economist        turns "e;the dismal science"e; into a true delight.
