Current Read: The Undercover Economist Strikes Back

via BN.com

Happy Thursday, readers! Today I'm sharing my current read: Tim Harford's "The Undercover Economist Strikes Back." I've read a lot of nonfiction over the last few months, including both volumes of "Freakonomics" and a few Malcolm Gladwell books, and find this exploration of macroeconomics an informative, captivating read. And while I've taken a few economics courses, I found Harford illustrates some fundamental and complex concepts with examples that are easy for everyone to understand.

Plus, these bite-sized examples make the perfect before-bed read. I've found myself reading a chapter or two every night to relax (and learn something useful!) after a long day. I would recommend picking up this book, especially if you don't have a background in economics, as it encourages thinking about the world around us through the eyes of an economist.

Get the book here from Barnes & Noble if you're interested.

xoxo,
Ashley
