In his bestselling 23 Things They Don't Tell You About Capitalism , Cambridge economist Ha-Joon Chang brilliantly debunked many of the predominant myths of neoclassical economics. Now, in an entertaining a nd accessible primer, he explains how the global economy actually wo r ks--in real-wo r ld terms. Writing with irreverent wit, a deep knowledge of histo r y, a nd a disregard fo r conventional economic pieties, Chang offers insights that will never be found in the textbooks. Unlike many economists, who present only one view of their discipline, Chang introduces a wide range of economic theo r ies, fr om classical to Keynesian, revealing how each has its strengths a nd weaknesses, a nd why there is no one way to explain economic behavio r . Instead, by igno r ing the received wisdom a nd exposing the myriad fo r ces that shape our financial wo r ld, Chang gives us the tools we need to understa nd our increasingly global a nd interconnected wo r ld often driven by economics. fr om the future of the Euro, inequality in China, o r the condition of the American manufacturing industry here in the United States-- Economics: The User's Guide is a concise a nd expertly crafted guide to economic fundamentals that offers a clear a nd accurate picture of the global economy a nd how a nd why it affects our daily lives. أقرأ أقل
