Chapter 6 of Tim Harford's The Undercover Economist


This is chapter six of the second edition of my book The Undercover Economist. When I published the new edition, by far the most substantial change was the addition of this chapter, which is all about the financial crisis.

Lots of people wrote to say they'd purchased the first edition and wondered whether they needed to buy the second edition too. This chapter gives you most of what’s changed, and that seems only reasonable.
