«La lógica oculta de la vida» is an economics essay by Tim Harford, in paperback, published by Ediciones Martínez Roca (350 pages, in Spanish).
The book argues that many human behaviors, including those that seem most irrational, respond to an economic logic: when the costs or benefits of an action change, people modify their conduct. With this idea, Tim Harford analyzes areas such as sex, love, war, racism, work, politics or gambling, and proposes looking at everyday life with the tools of the economist.
Subtitle: «Cómo la economía explica todas nuestras decisiones». It was published in Spain on March 18, 2008.
For readers interested in economics, social sciences and popular science that explains human behavior with rational arguments.
