Tim Harford's Financial Times column and book The Undercover Economist, from 2005, used everyday puzzles such as the price of coffee to explain how markets work. As presenter of BBC Radio 4's More or Less from 2007 he and the team checked the statistics behind news stories and political claims, and his books, including How to Make the World Add Up, teach readers to question numbers without dismissing them.
