Economics: The User's Guide

A Pelican Introduction

By: Ha-Joon Chang

Narrated by: Jonathan Keeble

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Economics: The User's Guide, A Pelican Book, by Ha-Joon Chang, read by Jonathan Keeble.

What is economics?
How does the global economy work?
What do different economic theories tell us about the world?

In Economics: The User's Guide, bestselling author Ha-Joon Chang explains how the global economy works, and why anyone can understand the dismal science. Unlike many economists who claim there is only one way of 'doing economics', he introduces readers to a wide range of economic theories, from classical to Keynesian, revealing how they all have their strengths, weaknesses and blind spots. By ignoring the received wisdom, and exposing the myriad forces that shape our financial fate, Chang provides the tools that every responsible citizen needs to understand - and address - our current economic woes.

The economy is not what you likely think it is!

Chang does a deep yet accessible analysis of “Evonomics”.
Necessary reading and acting basis for every citizen.

Perfect overview

Perfect overview of economy and it's principles with pointers for further reading. Comprehensively and neutraly writen from an economist, but admiting it's mostly about politics.

Socialist poin of view

Very left point of view. I must have had thought about it, considering that professor is teaching at Standard.
