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
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...
评分 评分写的挺好，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...
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…

评分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.
