A must-read: The Undercover Economist Strikes Back: How to Run-or Ruin-an Economy by Tim Harford.
Felix Salmon:
“No one is going to come away from reading this book convinced that
they know how to run an economy. Instead, what Harford has achieved with
his new book is nothing less than the holy grail of popular economics.
While retaining the accessible style of popular microeconomics, he has
managed to explain, with clarity and good humour, the knottiest and most
important problems facing the world’s biggest economies today.”
