About This Book
Life sometimes seems illogical. Individuals do strange things: take
drugs, have unprotected sex, mug each other. Love seems irrational, and
so does divorce. On a larger scale, life seems no fairer or easier to
fathom: Why do some neighborhoods thrive and others become ghettos? Why
is racism so persistent? Why is your idiot boss paid a fortune for
sitting behind a mahogany altar? Thorny questions–and you might be
surprised to hear the answers coming from an economist. But
award-winning journalist Tim Harford likes to spring surprises. In this
deftly reasoned book, he argues that life is logical after all. Under
the surface of everyday insanity, hidden incentives are at work, and
Harford shows these incentives emerging in the most unlikely places.
Tim Harford is the author of the bestseller The Undercover Economist and
The Logic of Life and a member of the editorial board of the Financial
Times, where he also writes the “Dear Economist” column. He is a regular
contributor to Slate, Forbes, and NPR’s Marketplace. He was the host of
the BBC TV series Trust Me, I’m an Economist and now presents the BBC
series More or Less. Harford has been an economist at the World Bank and
an economics tutor at Oxford University. He lives in London with his
wife and two daughters.
