Tim Harford: ‘Ik probeer iets onverwachts te vinden, een patroon dat mensen niet eerder hebben gezien’
Hans van der Klis | 19 augustus 2008
De Engelse econoom en journalist Tim Harford werd bekend door zijn Lieve Lita-rubriek ‘Dear Economist’ in The Financial Times waar hij over alledaagse vraagstukken adviseert met behulp van economische theorieën. Zijn voorliefde voor triviale onderwerpen komt ook naar voren in zijn tweede boek, getiteld Waarom we doen wat we doen. Aan de hand van analyses van uiteenlopende onderwerpen als het pijpgedrag van jonge Amerikaanse meisjes, het gewelddadige gettoleven en de hoge beloningen voor topmanagers laat hij zien dat ons gedrag altijd rationeel verklaard kan worden, ook al denken wij op het eerste gezicht van niet.
