Title: Flawed yet worthy
Review: Using humorous and applicable examples, Harford manages to bring some complex economic concepts down to a basic level of understanding, similar to Steven Landsburg's book The Armchair Economist. Landsburg's book is a more engaging read, and his writing more precise, but where Harford really shines out is that he manages to keep his book easy to read from page to page, while Landsburg has a tendency to get caught up in confusing technical language and jargon.If you're looking for a good source of some sound (and simple) economic explanation, Harford's book is a great place to start; it's clear enough and interesting enough that you're sure to find what you're looking for.
