Ein unkonventioneller Blick auf wirtschaftliche und gesellschaftliche Verhältnisse, der zu einigen unerwarteten Ergebnissen führt. Die britische Antwort auf den US-Bestseller Freakonomics.
Looking at familiar situations in unfamiliar ways, THE UNDERCOVER ECONOMIST is a fresh explanation of the fundamental principles of the modern economy, illuminated by examples from the streets of London to the booming skyscrapers of Shanghai to the sleepy canals of Bruges. Leaving behind textbook jargon and equations, Tim Harford will reveal the games of signals and negotiations, contests of strength and battles of wit that drive not only the economy at large but the everyday choices we make.
