The Economics Book

Product Information

Ako všetky knihy v sérii Veľké myšlienky, aj táto obsahuje prehľadné rozdelenie hneď v úvode. Vďaka tomu sme sa vedeli lepšie orientovať v histórii a postupnom vývoji ekonómie. A poviem vám, že pre človeka ako ja, čo sa vyhýba hocakým zmienkam o ekonomike, bola táto kniha vskutku nápomocná. Dozvedela som sa z nej veľa nového či už o trhovej ekonomike alebo celkových princípoch makroekonómie. As with all Dorling Kindersley books this is generously illustrated, with bold graphics of headings, alongside accompanying pictures, plus diagrams and infographics in the chapters themselves. I found this heartening. Just when I was starting to get brain ache, there would be a nice visual place to rest. The book is also quite large, a cross between coffee table size and regular textbook. It has reasonably large text too. All this makes reading it a lot more enjoyable. Raworth explains her donut theory as a means to living. The world needs to work to keep the doughnut balanced. Everyone needs their individual essentials in life, like: food, healthcare, freedom, etc. Then there are things that the world needs together, like a stable environment. These work together to create a donut. The concept is strong and interesting, but not easy to explain in a short review. This book is masterfully written to help everyone understand economics through something they all love: doughnuts.

Henry Hazlitt’s “Economics in One Lesson” earned the top spot on our list for its no-nonsense approach to economic theory, the intersection of government and the economy, and the importance of the free market. Written in 1946, it's sold more than a million copies, a testament to the staying power of Hazlitt’s lessons. Think anti-deficit approaches to the markets and economic liberty. Modern economics emerged as a distinct discipline in the 18th century, in particular with the publication in 1776 of The Wealth of Nations, written by the great Scottish thinker Adam Smith. However, what prompted interest in the subject was not so much the writings of economists as the enormous changes in the economy itself with the advent of the Industrial Revolution. Previous thinkers had commented on the management of goods and services within societies, treating questions that arose as problems for moral or political philosophy. But with the arrival of factories and mass producers of goods came a new ❯❯

Economics clearly have a huge impact on our world. They had an impact on our past, they have an impact on our present, and they will have an impact on our future. Money, as meaningless as it seems, controls our world. Until that changes, economics will be one of the most important subjects in the world. These books will continue to update and change with the world’s economics. Economics is a difficult subject that is even harder to explain. Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell has reached its fifth edition. Economics is an ever changing concept, and thus Sowell keeps readers updated on it. He details her stints at the Fed—including her firing by then-President Donald Trump, who said in a staggeringly superficial pronouncement that she was too short to be Fed chair, a job she had been doing well for four years before Trump took office—and her professional life today. Ullman writes of Yellen: “One signature achievement involves climate change: For the first time, she made it the focus of every aspect of the financial world that the Treasury supervises.”

Economics is a broad topic and if you're not an economist by profession, your knowledge might be limited - until now! The Economics Book is your jargon-free, visual guide to understanding the production and distribution of wealth. The main author/consulting editor is a professor of history at The London School of Economics, and this is how it is structured - economics from an historical perspective. Each small chapter describes the schools of thought within a given segment of time. Each chapter has a box titled "In Context", where we are given the situations before and after the ideas being discussed. There is also a second box, giving a brief biography of the main economist being discussed in each chapter. I found these columns a bit redundant. I would have preferred all the space being devoted to explaining economic ideas. Having said that, if you were doing economics as a subject at school or university this extra information might be useful. Janet Yellen is a rare individual. She is a highly accomplished woman and scholar in a male-dominated profession and is now the first female U.S. Treasury secretary. She has held the other two top economic policy jobs in the nation—chair of both the Federal Reserve and the Council of Economic Advisers—and was the first woman in both posts. In Owen Ullmann’s meticulous and laudatory Empathy Economics: Janet Yellen’s Remarkable Rise to Power and Her Drive to Spread Prosperity to All, he outlines Yellen’s philosophy of lifting up those from the economic ladder’s lowest rung and her humanity, which stands out in the brutal world of Washington politics. Economic Facts and Fallacies by Thomas Sowell isn’t afraid to criticize economic myths. Readers need no prior knowledge of economics to read this book. The book explores economic lies told in the media, through politicians, and other places. It also includes facts on economics that readers may otherwise not know. The book, at times, can seem biased. This does affect Sowell’s credibility in ways. As a beginner in Economics, this book wasn't exactly what I was hoping for. It was kind of disorganized and didn't explain some concepts very well (they weren't as "simply explained" as the title claims).Earlier this year, I reviewed a book that I had hoped would be a primer on economics. Unfortunately, what I read ended up being a biased diatribe against Democratic/liberal policies versus Republican/conservative rather than a dispassionate layman’s lesson on economics in general. Doughnut Economics by Kate Raworth explains the seven reasons why everyday economics aren’t to be trusted, and how everyone can become their economist. The book has many visual examples that are easy to follow, and make the reading clearer. One of these images is that of the doughnut.

Musím povedať, že prečítať túto knihu mi trvalo dlhšie. Najmä preto, že ja a ekonómia nejdeme dokopy. This book is best for those who at least have a small understanding of economics. Beginners in this subject may be confused and misled in the topic. Overall, this book contains lots of great examples and theories regarding economics that explain why they are important. It’s lots of fun, and exciting for any economist who gives it a try.Religions and their services and rituals are often the go-to destination for many individuals outside of work as a place not only of faith but also of fellowship, and of developing an identity and sense of belonging and purpose. Yet that’s not the case for some tech workers in Silicon Valley, according to University of California-Berkeley sociologist Carolyn Chen in Work Pray Code: When Work Becomes Religion in Silicon Valley. These white-collar employees, in sync with their employers’ aim in Silicon Valley, have created a “theocracy of work,” she argues, now willingly accepting “spiritual” sustenance from their workplace and employers. This book is straight-forward and provides lots of interesting examples. This book covers the basics and helps readers gain a deeper understanding of economics. This book has 20 editions, so it is very up to date. Miller is also updating this book, and making sure it has the best information.
