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.

经济学之类的普及书也算看过几本,这本读起来很轻松,因为选材很日常,就是很小的事,不似一些书拿些重大的事做经济分析得出一个让常人接受不了的结论,有普及的效果 给人惊艳之感的是最后一章写中国致富的,作者到过内地,算是亲身体验了改革开放的变化,言辞间对中国经济成就...

写的挺好,用经济学的知识实实在在的,分析了我们生活中遇到的各种现象,以及国家治理中的各种问题(不是政治角度),令人耳目一新:原来经济学是真的有用的。它是一门与现实紧密相连的学问。不似法学,法学的渊源流传的思想你不去了解,好像对你我也没什么。 在这种有用的趋势...

評分

读了不少经济学的书了,这本的例子是最具体最详细分析最透彻最到位的,尤其是前半部分,通俗易懂,后面的稍微有点专业了,但是比其他的书还是好懂一些。 一些收获比如选股票就像在超市排队,哪个队短是比较明显的事情,人们都走向那个队时,它就和其他的一样长了,当然会有聪明...

還是比較入門的,作者兼任 BBC Radio 4 More or Less欄目的主持人——我也是書看到一半覺得作者名字眼熟發現的。

文筆很平和,深入淺齣。有的地方有些淺,而且還是新自由資本主義那些論調,無甚新意。但有的點選的很好,原來都沒有想到。還有就是學而時習之也不錯,至少看起來很娛樂。

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.
