The Undercover Economist (ISBN 0-19-518977-9) is a book by Tim Harford published in 2006 by Little, Brown.
The book provides an introduction to principles of economics, including demand-supply interactions, market failures, externalities, globalisation, international trade and comparative advantage. It explains in non-technical terms how Starbucks and other coffee providers price their products, why it is hard to buy a decent used car, why the health insurance system in the United States is failing, and why poor countries remain poor while the People's Republic of China grew continuously rich in the last couple of decades.
