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.

一個同學在聊天時說，要是能找到一個年薪60萬的工作就舒服瞭，上海這樣的職位應該有很多。我知道有些難，因為和他能力相差不多的人比相應的職位要多很多。本書的作者首先就講到稀缺産生力量，沒有空氣和水就會死亡，因為空氣和水不稀缺，不僅便宜而且可以汙染；去年的地價上漲...

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，寫來象閒話傢常.讀著讀著，是呀，就是這樣的，便看完整本書瞭.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...
