The World Through New Eyes: How Economic Thinking Empowers You

Transform Your Perspective and Make Wiser Choices Every Day

Imagine seeing the world not just as it appears, but as it really works—full of hidden incentives, subtle negotiations, and unseen consequences. That’s the gift of economic thinking, and it’s at the heart of Tim Harford’s 'The Undercover Economist.'

By learning to ask the right questions—why is this price what it is? Who benefits from this deal? What are the hidden costs?—you become a more empowered citizen, consumer, and neighbor. Economic literacy isn’t about memorizing formulas; it’s about understanding the forces that shape your life and your society.

With this perspective, you’re better equipped to make choices that align with your values, advocate for fairer policies, and help build communities that work for everyone. Economic thinking is a superpower—one that’s accessible to anyone willing to look beneath the surface.
