Using real-world examples—from coffee shop pricing to supermarket strategies and global trade—Harford demystifies complex economic concepts like scarcity, incentives, market efficiency, and externalities. With the flair of a detective, he reveals how economics explains much more than just money—it’s a powerful lens for understanding human behavior, decision-making, and social systems. Whether uncovering why some people pay more for coffee or how international aid affects poor nations, Harford combines storytelling with economic insight to make the subject both engaging and practical.
