Tim Harford is the author of the bestseller The Undercover Economist and The Logic of Life and a member of the editorial board of the Financial Times, where he also writes the “Dear Economist” column. He is a regular contributor to Slate, Forbes, and NPR’s Marketplace. He was the host of the BBC TV series Trust Me, I’m an Economist and now presents the BBC series More or Less. Harford has been an economist at the World Bank and an economics tutor at Oxford University. He lives in London with his wife and two daughters.
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 exposé of the economic principles lurking behind daily events, explaining everything from traffic jams to high coffee prices.
New to this edition: 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 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 "the dismal science" into a true delight.
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...
評分阔别它的姊妹篇《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...
評分只看了一点,原著写的挺好,翻译的不好。不用看英文原文,只根据上下文就能看出不少地方翻译错了。译者似乎没有去理解他在翻译,只是把自己当个比“google translate"水平高的翻译机器… *free* speech 还是 *free* beer都翻译错了,唉…
