The Undercover Economist Strikes Back Av Tim Harford

A million readers bought <i>The Undercover Economist</i> to get the lowdown on how economics works on a small scale, in our everyday lives. Since then, economics has become big news. Crises, austerity, riots, bonuses - all are in the headlines all the time. But how does this large-scale economic world really work? What would happen if we cancelled everyone''s debt? How do you create a job? Will the BRIC countries take over the world? Asking - among many other things -- what the future holds for the Euro, why the banks are still paying record bonuses and where government borrowing will take us, in <i>The Undercover Economist Strikes Back</i>, Tim Harford returns with his trademark clarity and wit to explain what''s really going on - and what it means for us all.
