The underground economist strikes again!

A brilliant and irreverent book on contemporary economic thought. In The Underground Economist, a global bestseller, Tim Hardford sought to see the world through the eyes of a microeconomist, considering, for example, how the domestic economy could influence the global scale. Now, on a planet transformed by crisis, he dedicates himself to a much bigger picture to help us unravel the complexities of major global economies. What happens to inflation when you burn £1 million in banknotes? Why do even prisoner-of-war camps experience recessions? And why did Coca-Cola go seventy years without changing the price per bottle? With sharp humor and expert clarity, Harford cuts through the jargon and reveals how the global economy really works.
