Basic Economics, Fifth Edition

A Common Sense Guide to the Economy

De: Thomas Sowell

Narrado por: Stefan Rudnicki

In this fifth edition of Basic Economics, Thomas Sowell revises and updates his popular book on commonsense economics, bringing the world into clearer focus through a basic understanding of the fundamental economic principles and how they explain our lives. Drawing on lively examples from around the world and from centuries of history, Sowell explains basic economic principles for the general public in plain English.

Basic Economics, which has now been translated into six languages and has additional material online, remains true to its core principle: that the fundamental facts and principles of economics do not require jargon, graphs, or equations and can be learned in a relaxed and even enjoyable way.

Always Stunning from Sowell

Sowell's insights are always engaging, fascinating and we'll worth the listen. I'll always recommend Sowell to anyone, student or otherwise, looking for answers to why things are the way they are economically and beyond. This book is more dry than some of his other more conversational books, as it's meant to be more of a textbook, but it is entirely understandable and enjoyable for anyone at any level of knowledge.

Wow! Economics like you never knew....

This book is one of my all time favorite books. I literally listened to it 4 or 5 times. I just listened to it over and over in my car for a few week's. It easily explains how and why things happen in economies large and small. Great book, highly recommended!!

Great common sense of economic principles.

Everyone should read this book since it provides a great Common Sense understanding of Economics. Thomas Sowell presents difficult concepts in a very understandable manner.

Thomas Sowell basic economics

God bless Thomas Sowell!

Understandable economics that we can all digest! This book will give you the tools to look at the world in a more realistic way. Keep in mind society falls apart without a solid economy.

Should be required reading in all k-12 schools.

This book gives a no nonsense and simply understood education in economics spoken in plain English. Every student in school and every politician should be required to read this book. If everyone had a basic understanding of economics our society would be much better off than it is now.

Enlightening

Clarifies tons of basic economic principles and assumptions you may or may not have taken for granted, and supports them with easy to understand examples, not data and graphs.

Can’t believe how fascinating this book was.

I never imagined I would devour an economics book like I did this one. So interesting, I found myself excited to keep listening, and would often listen late into the night. Who else can say that about a textbook? 10/10 recommend.

I must teach my children everything in this book.

This was one of the best and most useful books on economics I have ever read. It manages to take theory and demonstrate how it plays out in economic and policy decisions that we confront every day. It is one lesson after another in learning how yo separate intention from outcome. Simply incredible.

Unbelievably useful book

Easy to understand, wealth of knowledge, you will mess if you don’t listen to book.
