How Economics Works

About the Book

Discover everything you need to know about economics with this unique graphic guide.

With clear, jargon-free language, How Economics Works is a comprehensive and user-friendly guide to all aspects of economics.

Covering everything from economic theories to economies in action, the book presents the groundbreaking ideas of key economists - from Adam Smith and John Maynard Keynes to Joseph Schumpter and Milton Friedman. Beginning with foundational economic ideas, such as scarcity, marginalism, and the free market, entries then explore the role of choice, markets, trade, and finance, and how whole economies work and are influenced by decisions made by governments and central banks, such as raising taxes or interest rates.

With its unique graphic approach and clear, authoritative text, How Economics Works is the perfect introduction to the subject.
