Publisher's Description of Economics without the Boring Bits
Where does wealth come from? How is it different from money? Does government intervention prevent or create crises? What is the most effective way to protect the environment?
In Economics Without the Boring Bits, Oxford-trained economist Tejvan Pettinger takes readers on an enlightening tour of the powerful, counter-intuitive and frequently startling insights of economic research, showing us that middlemen are good, recycling is bad (sometimes) and why some people get rich and others don’t.
This clear, compelling and engaging book breathes life into big concepts such as debt, finance, trade, money, taxation, supply, demand and all the other economic issues that worry us all yet relatively few truly understand.
This is your guide to understanding economics – without the boring bits.
