«El economista camuflado» is the economics popularisation essay by Tim Harford, published by Planeta Publishing in paperback (448 pages, in Spanish).
Starting from the price of a cup of coffee, Tim Harford dismantles everyday appearances and reveals the economic logic hidden behind them. In an accessible style, he explains how companies set prices, how markets work, and what forces drive daily decisions, so that the reader sees the world with fresh eyes.
The book's subtitle is «La economía de las pequeñas cosas». This work is the first title in the The Undercover Economist series. The translation is by Liliana Mabel Resnik and the edition was published in 2008.
Recommended for curious readers who want to approach economics without prior knowledge, through recognisable examples from daily life.
