Overview
Ahí donde el resto solo ve café, el economista va mucho más allá…
Este singular libro sobre el funcionamiento del mundo desde el punto de vista de un economista se ha convertido en un referente incuestionable. Nos cautiva con una sencilla pregunta: «¿Quién paga tu café?». Pronto nos damos cuenta de que no existen las preguntas sencillas, ya que un café encierra un complejo y gigantesco sistema económico. De esta forma tan casual, Harford nos invita a llevar a cabo una labor detectivesca para intentar resolver algunos de los rompecabezas de nuestra sociedad actual.
Aprenderás a pensar más como un economista y menos como un consumidor inocente que se pregunta por qué no se puede comprar un coche de segunda mano decente o qué debería hacer para evitar gastar tanto dinero en un supermercado.
«Harford es inteligente, tan inteligente que da miedo. Puede arrojar luz sobre ideas y factores de gran complejidad.» —The Sunday Tribune
«La economía popular no es un oxímoron, y esta es la prueba.» —Financial Times
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
“The economy [isn’t] a bunch of rather dull statistics with names like GDP (gross domestic product),” notes Tim Harford, columnist and regular guest on NPR’s Marketplace, “economics is about who gets what and why.”
In this acclaimed and riveting book–part exposé, part user’s manual–the astute and entertaining columnist from the Financial Times demystifies the ways in which money works in the world. From why the coffee in your cup costs so much to why efficiency is not necessarily the answer to ensuring a fair society, from improving health care to curing crosstown traffic–all the dirty little secrets of dollars and cents are delightfully revealed by The Undercover Economist.
