Tim Harford has an extraordinary talent for doing ‘popular economics’ – for uncovering the inherent links between economics, company performance, and everyday life. With a Light touch and sly wit, this economist and journalist turns “the dismal science” into entertaining value for audiences and readers alike.
Tim was the first Meter Martin Fellow at the Financial Times Magazine and writes two columns for FT:
The Dear Economist column answers reader’s personal problems with the latest economic theory.
His new column, The Undercover Economist, like his book by that title, reveals the economist behind our day-to-day experiences. The column is syndicated in Commerce (Canada) and Slate (USA).
His book, , is an economist’s version of The undercover economist: Exposing Why the Rich are Rich, the Poor are Poor – and Why You Can Never Buy A Decent Used Car, part field guide to economics and part exposé of how economic forces shape our lives, often without our knowing it.
Tim has also been a scenario expert at Shell and an economist at the International Finance Corporation (part of the World Bank), where he wrote the most quoted report in World Bank history, Doing Business in 2005. He is coauthor of The Market of Aid. He also is the writer and presenter for the forthcoming BBC 2 TV Series, Trust me, I’m an economist.
