Book description
Keynesian Economics, Free Market Capitalism, Monetarism, Game
Theory and the Invisible Hand. Sure, you know what they mean. That is,
you've certainly heard of them. But do you know enough about these
economic theories to join a dinner party debate or dazzle the bar with
your financial knowledge? 30 Second Economics takes the top 50
economic theories, and explains them to the general reader in half a
minute, using nothing more than 300 words and one picture. Economics
will suddenly seem a lot more fun than the economy, and make a lot
more sense, and along the way you'll meet founding fathers of modern
economics such as Adam Smith, David Ricardo and Alfred Marshall. From
Marxism to Mercantilism, plus everything inbetween, this is the
ultimate crash' course in economic theory.
