«La lógica oculta de la vida» is Tim Harford's popular economics essay, published by Booket in paperback (352 pages, in Spanish).
It argues that economics is the study of rational behaviour and that people respond to incentives: if costs or benefits change, so does their conduct. The author applies this theory to sex, society, war, love, racism, workplace relations, politics and gambling, uncovering the hidden logic in seemingly irrational decisions.
The cover subtitle is «Cómo la economía explica todas nuestras decisiones»; it was published in Spain on 10 March 2009.
Ideal for those approaching economics for the first time who want to understand it through everyday situations, without technical jargon.
