具体描述

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.

阔别它的姊妹篇《魔鬼经济学》一个月之后，开始看这本，原以为习惯此般出人意料的结果，却还是大吃一惊。前九章各有重点，仍然围绕着市场体系里面，提出买卖市场失灵的问题，分别是稀缺力量，外部效应，不完全信息，还有公平问题。从地铁站的咖啡，到超市的不同货物的定价，到...

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...

想写点什么评价的不然是不是对不起这么一本好书但是发现都被前面的人写过了…… 一本像小说一样的经济学用非常轻松的心情读完了发现好像没有一句废话（非常难得了）用简单的办法来阐述深刻的道理这就完全够得上好书了

任志强在《头脑风暴》上说，长远看来房价是越来越高的，因为按照马克思主义的级差地租原理，现在城市投资越来越多，自然房价越来越高。好吧，我们且不说住在北京的人一辈子能去几次鸟巢、水立方，让我们先带着一本书看房市——《卧底经济学》。第1章《你喝咖啡谁赚钱》，以咖...
