In The Undercover Economist, Tim Harford reveals the underlying economic concerns associated with those systems that most people take for granted, and exposes the facts beneath them that offer opportunities for valuable savings. By helping readers see the world from the perspective of the economist, he unlocks the mysteries beneath the economic decisions people make, such as the purchase of a used car. The result of his insight is a more savvy consumer and voter who can better understand the truth beneath the promises. By adding more clues to the economic puzzles of daily life, Harford transforms mundane decisions into well considered choices.

Other issues covered by book include immigration, supermarket prices, Disney World's prices, traffic, poverty, sweatshops, globalization, the availability of beer, and China's future. The systems Harford reveals along the way provide valuable economic lessons about many issues that affect most people's daily lives.
