Economics for Everyone: A Short Guide to the Economics of Capitalism by Jim Stanford Economics for Everyone is punchy and readable, with short, bite-sized chapters, and illustrated with cartoons and flow charts by renowned political cartoonist Tony Biddle. Best of all, it is completely free of technical jargon and mathematics. When they've finished it, readers will understand the basic features and relationships of modern-day capitalism. They'll see where working people fit into the big economic picture - and the points of opportunity where we can try to build a better, fairer system. |
