About This Event

Which economic ideas are the most powerful, and which are the most frequently misunderstood? How can economists communicate more effectively with policymakers and with the public? And why has economics, unlike physics or biology, failed to deliver shelves full of bestselling books and documentaries? Tim Harford presents ideas from his new book, The Undercover Economist, and from his column in the Financial Times.
