Paperback
Connect with a representative to create a custom curriculum for your district.
Bringing zest and wit to the dismal science, author Tim Harford demystifies macroeconomics and clarifies the complex concepts surrounding how governments, banks, and corporations affect employment, income, and inflation.
Engaging readers in an imaginary conversation, he uses well-chosen case studies and entertaining analogies (for example, what would happen if the government employed people to repeatedly bury and dig up chocolate coins?) to explain in plain language everything you would need to know if you were suddenly put in charge of the economy.
