The Undercover Economist Strikes Back by Tim Harford

The Undercover Economist Strikes Back by Tim Harford

A provocative and lively exploration of the increasingly important world of macroeconomics, by the author of the bestselling The Undercover Economist.

Thanks to the worldwide financial upheaval, economics is no longer a topic we can ignore. From politicians to hedge fund managers to middle-class IRA holders, everyone must pay attention to how and why the global economy works the way it does.

Enter Financial Times columnist and bestselling author Tim Harford. In this new book that demystifies macroeconomics, Harford strips away the spin, the hype, and the jargon to reveal the truth about how the world's economy actually works. With the wit of a raconteur and the clear grasp of an expert, Harford explains what's really happening beyond today's headlines, why all of us should care, and what we can do about it to understand it better.

Tim Harford is the Financial Times' Undercover Economist and Dear Economist writer. Esquire, Forbes, New York magazine, Wired, TheWashington Post, and TheNew York Times have all published his work. The Undercover Economist and The Logic of Life are two of his previous books. Harford is a visiting fellow at London's Cass Management School and hosts the popular BBC radio show More or Less. He won the Bastiat Prize for economic journalism in 2006 and the Royal Statistical Society Award for Excellence in Journalism in 2010.
