From the early barter system, through the Industrial Revolution, to the emergence of globalization, economics has defined our lives. Think Like an Economist is a fun introduction to the main ideas of economics, untangling its intricacies and revealing the ways in which individuals, societies and nations allocate resources. Using a Q&A format, the book delves into questions such as: • Why don't we just print more money? • Is cash on the way out? • How does the stock market work? • Is the whole world capitalist now? Written in an amusing and easy-to-understand style, Anne Rooney investigates how economics can be used to improve living standards and make the world a better place. A title you can dip into for pleasure, Think Like an Economist shows that economics is by no means an arid and academic subject but fun and necessary for getting to grips with the issues thrown up by daily life. The Q&A format covers topics such as: What is capitalism and are there alternatives? Is a house an investment? Why is a banker paid more than a nurse? Is it possible for everyone to get richer? What is a bull market and what is a bear market? Does money make you happy? Word count: 53,500 Written in a style that is amusing and easy to understand.
