«El economista camuflado» is the economics popular-science essay by Tim Harford, published by Ediciones Martínez Roca in paperback (320 pages, in Spanish).
Starting from an everyday question, the price of coffee, Tim Harford shows that small decisions hide complex economic mechanisms. Like a detective, he explains how markets work, why companies set prices and how they try to exploit the system, and offers keys for the consumer to protect themselves.
It is the first installment of the The Undercover Economist series. The English original was published in 2005.
For readers with no prior training in economics who want an enjoyable introduction based on everyday situations.
