Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A Pelican introduction to economics that shows why we need not - indeed should not - leave it to the experts aloneWhat 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. What is economics? What can - and can't - it explain about the world? Why does it matter? This book teaches economics at Cambridge University, and writes a column for the Guardian. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9780718197032
