Bookstores have been flooded with popular economics books since the publication of the wildly popular
Freakonomics. Although
The Undercover Economist was not the first to market, it should have been. Told in a genuinely engaging style, it puts the microeconomics rubber to the road, or more accurately stated, to your wallet. Ever wonder why you are willing to spend four bucks on a latte? This is the book to read while you drink it.
