An accessible reference to the history of economic thought through the ideas of great thinkers. Economics explains the world. For example, the fact that you are holding this book in your hands places you in a unique position. For many people worldwide, spending money on a book and being able to read it would seem as likely as a trip to the Moon. But why can some countries afford the buildings, books, and teachers needed to educate their children – while others cannot? The word 'economy' may seem somewhat dry, but in reality, it is about trying to understand questions like these. This is a lively, best-selling narrative of the history of economics, recounting events from antiquity to the modern era and the ideas of great thinkers in the field. From Adam Smith to Karl Marx and from the invention of money to the Great Depression, this Little History illuminates the economic forces that shape our world.
