«El economista camuflado» is the economics popularisation essay by Tim Harford, published by Booket in hardback (448 pages, in Spanish).
The work explains the hidden economics behind everyday life: why a cup of coffee costs more in a chain than in a bar, what traffic jams or the second-hand car market conceal. Harford presents concepts such as market power, privileged information and game theory. It reflects on inequality between rich and poor countries.
Work originally published in English as The Undercover Economist (2005); it is the first title in Tim Harford's eponymous series and in Spain it was published within Booket's Special Collection.
A book suitable for those who want to start in economics from recognisable situations, without needing prior training in the subject.
