This is another book review at iStudyatHES.com and today I tell you about the Undercover Economist which is probably my favorite economics book! Sure you are probably not thinking of reading any non required economics books with the exams coming next month (at least I’m not) but perhaps you might be interested to check this after passing everything!

Well we are all HES students studying lots of Economics right? Well in this book The Undercover Economist, Tim Harford explains lots of business stuff happening in daily life. Lots of stuff which sounds pretty logical and easy but you just would not think of it yourself. Do you know who really benefits from immigration? Why the mafia is making more money with laundries than street gangs do with selling drugs? Why should a company sell a new printer which cost more to produce cheaper than a model which is cheaper to produce? Basically this book looks at familiar situations in unfamiliar ways.

Have fun reading!
