Think Like An Economist : Get To Grips With Money And Markets

From the early barter system, through the Industrial Revolution, to the
emergence of globalisation, economics has defined our lives. Think Like an
Economist is a fun introduction to the main ideas of economics, untangling
its intricacies and revealing the ways in which individuals, societies and
nations allocate resources. Using a Q&A format, the book delves into
questions such as: • Why don't we just print more money? • Is cash on the
way out? • How does the stock market work? • Is the whole world capitalist
now? Written in an amusing and easy-to-understand style, Anne Rooney
investigates how economics can be used to improve living standards and make
the world a better place.
