The Undercover Economist: Exposing Why the Rich Are Rich, Why the Poor Are Poor--And Why You Can Never Buy a Decent Used Car!

The Undercover Economist: Exposing Why the Rich Are Rich, Why the Poor Are Poor--And Why You Can Never Buy a Decent Used Car! by Tim Harford

The author gives an interesting introduction to the world of economics. You will learn why sweatshops are good things and fair trade coffee isn’t quite fair. Harford guides the reader, through many examples, to a new way of looking at the world. This book, while it may be simplistic to those familiar with economic theory is still a playful, fun, and most of all education read even if it does have like the longest secondary title ever.
