Economics for noneconomists
I found Tim Harford's book very revealing and usefull, because it explains complex economic behaviors and phenomenons in a very light, friendly and accessible fashion. From the complexities of markets to important geopolitical realities this book is enlightening. There are some important concepts I handpick from the text: the power of scarcity, the evils of privileged or asymmetric information , ...

The Market for Aid

Michael Klein, Tim Harford

World Bank Publications, 2005

Poorly selected title and conceptual framework for an interesting topic
Any serious reader would be curious about the definition of "market for aid" before reading this little book. I began with doubt on the concept and ended with disappointment and even frustration. Yes, there are demand and supply for aid. However, many sources of aid come without a price. The authors do not start by making a careful distinction between grants and concessional loans that bear ...

Best of the current crop of pop-economic books
I've read a lot of books lately on human behavior, the economics of daily life, and game theory. Although "Freakonomics" by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner is the most famous recent book of pop economics (and I did quite enjoy it), I think the best of the current lot is this one: "The Logic of Life: The Rational Economics of an Irrational World" by Tim Harford, a columnist for The ...

A great primer on economic theory and policy ...
The more I read about the strain developing countries are placing on natural resources and global food supplies, the more interested I have become in economic theory and policies. Unfortunately, my knowledge of such is limited to basic introductory courses in college. For that reason, I am glad I picked up this book; it has answered many of my questions and has shed light on many interesting ...

Scarcity POWER!!!
I picked this up after reading Freakanomics, on a recommendation. For anyone curious in how the world actually works, this is a must read. Hartford presents the complex workings of the business word using real world examples and relevant topics. My background is in engineering...this means that anything even remotly related to business or human behavior related needs to be explained slowly and ...

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 ...

The Logic of Life: The Rational Economics of an Irrational World
Tim Harford

Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2009

Life sometimes seems illogical. Individuals do strange things: take drugs, have unprotected sex, mug each other. Love seems irrational, and so does divorce. On a larger scale, life seems no fairer or easier to fathom: Why do some neighborhoods thrive and others become ghettos? Why is racism so persistent? Why is your idiot boss paid a fortune for sitting behind a mahogany altar? Thorny questions–and you might be surprised to hear the ...
