An economist's version of The Way Things Work, this engaging volume is part field guide to economics and part expose of the economic principles lurking behind daily events, explaining everything from traffic jams to high coffee prices. The Undercover Economist is for anyone who's 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. This book offers the hidden story behind these and other questions, as economist Tim Harford ranges from Africa, Asia, Europe, and of course 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 "the dismal science" into a true delight.

读后感
作者的前言取了個言簡意賅的題目：「全世界沒有人能獨力煮出一杯卡布奇諾」。聽起來像是廢話，但請相信我，真的很多人不知道這件事情。 怎麼說呢？我是個外食主義者，當然最重要的原因是我不擅於烹飪，講難聽點就是，我做的東西沒人要吃……ok，這不是重點，重點在於我太習慣...
评分虽然经济学本身是一种客观的分析工具，但这样并不能表明经济学家总是客观的，经济学家研究权力问题、贫困问题、增长问题、发展问题，但在运用这些模型分析以上问题时，很难对模型背后的现实世界无动于衷。所以经济学家经常超越自己的角色，去担当经济政策的工程师，成为某...
评分 评分在书城看的，会看的原因是《魔鬼经济学》的作者推荐了本书。 站着看这种费脑筋的书，多少有些不容易看进。而且论有趣，也远不如《魔鬼经济学》。唯一让我印象深刻的是，书的最后提到了上海、中国的电影。看来作者对中国还是有些了解的，除此之外可以说别无任何收获。 引进此...
评分由開始到結束,整本書都趣味央然.儘管一些經濟學的名詞，如稀少性、價格、供求關係，外部不經濟等，都不是新鮮事物，但Harford文筆活潑，例子生動，寫來象閒話家常.讀着讀着，是呀，就是這樣的，便看完整本書了.書的的最後一章，分析中國經改的成功經驗，談國有企業的改革，言簡...

The last two chapters are a little bit sketchy, but overall the book is very informative. Start to feel that economics is more meaningful than what I previously thought.
