The Undercover Economist

The Undercover EconomistThe Undercover Economist by Tim Harford
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Quite a thought provoking book. The passages on how to tackle global warming by taking into account external costs, and the one on health insurance system comparison between US and UK are really great. The last part on How China became rich is also a good read for someone who wonders how a communist country is one of fastest growing in the world.
Though I am not in complete agreement with Tim Harford on his thoughts on free trade, but still those are interesting.
Overall a must read for a person who is even a little bit inclined towards economics.
