Table of contents

And also. If the book offers so many topics, it is clear that all this is quite superficial, that even Wikipedia offers a deeper view. 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. Michelle Lodge knows how to find the best of its kind in the book world. She has been published in Publishers Weekly and was an editor and writer for Library Journal, both of which cover books and the industry. While a book review editor at Library Journal, which recommends books for public library collections, she selected a number of top books on economics for review. She was also the editor of the On Wall Street Book Club, in which she reviewed books and interviewed authors on a podcast.

Angela and Bruno: The moral of the story History, instability, and growth Inequality Politics and policyI must admit that I read this book all wrong. It’s supposed to be a reference book. A bit of a primer to bring you up to speed on any area of economic theory before you take a deeper dive. I didn’t use it like that at all, I read it from cover to cover in a mad burst. So, if I’m using the book incorrectly, I can hardly complain if it doesn’t work as well as it should.
