The Inner Lives of Markets by Ray Fisman

The Inner Lives of Markets by Ray Fisman

Think Freakonomics meets The Undercover Economist The Inner Lives of Markets is a journey into the mysterious corners of everyday economics. Who buys, who sells, why it matters, when it works, and what to do when it breaks.

All of the economics covered in this delightful book is described clearly and with a lovely lightness of touch* The Enlightened Economist *
They start to make the case with a quick, and exceedingly engaging, tour of economic history... the book does a good job of showing the limitations of narrow economic theory, since markets rarely feature rational people with perfect knowledge. -- Gillian Tett, Financial Times
