Niall Kishtainy, former economic policy advisor to the UK government and the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, is guest teacher, department of economic history, London School of Economics, and author of The Economics Book and Economics in Minutes. He lives in London.
What causes poverty? Are economic crises inevitable under capitalism? Is government intervention in an economy a helpful approach or a disastrous idea? The answers to such basic economic questions matter to everyone, yet the unfamiliar jargon and math of economics can seem daunting. This clear, accessible, and even humorous book is ideal for young readers new to economics and for all readers who seek a better understanding of the full sweep of economic history and ideas.
Economic historian Niall Kishtainy organizes short, chronological chapters that center on big ideas and events. He recounts the contributions of key thinkers including Adam Smith, David Ricardo, Karl Marx, John Maynard Keynes, and others, while examining topics ranging from the invention of money and the rise of agrarianism to the Great Depression, entrepreneurship, environmental destruction, inequality, and behavioral economics. The result is a uniquely enjoyable volume that succeeds in illuminating the economic ideas and forces that shape our world.

這幾年的房地産、股市、醫藥可以說是亂象紛呈,也讓我漸漸的思考為什麼會齣現這麼個奇怪的現象。看瞭很多的貼吧,各種專傢學者、各類理論學說搞得更是分不清楚,總之就是各成一派,下麵的群眾也是跟著“專傢”們都學說進行著各自的投資,可謂喜憂參半。 在讀完這本書之後,對經...
評分提到“經濟”與“資本”,我總是會第一時間想起徵服和暴力,無論是起初學生時代得知的西方殖民主義萌芽,還是後來閱讀《絕對欲望,絕對奇異》中對於二戰時期日本經濟崛起的描述,似乎“資本”永遠是裹挾著血腥以及金錢至上的純理性論調,也不難怪馬剋思曾說“自從來到人間,資...

評分序言通過研究經濟學的曆史,我們欣賞幾個世紀以來,不同思想者針對其所處的時代的經濟睏境,提齣的各種迥異的思想:19世紀工業革命帶來的財富和它的骯髒;20世紀龐大失業潮的威脅;今天日益加劇的不平等和經融危機。 01 我們為什麼需要經濟學稀缺性和機會成本揭示瞭一條基本的...
圖書標籤: 經濟學 經濟史 英文原版 經濟 曆史 社科 NEXT Finanzwissen
高開低走,後麵有點乾。畢竟曆史太久理論太多,簡化到這麼一本書裏隻能跟報菜名一樣報人名瞭
評分這纔是原版 翻譯成通識真的會給人造成誤解 看瞭10章覺得好像這是一本曆史書 little history
評分還算不錯的經濟學入門讀物。曆史的部分其實不多,主要是介紹現代經濟學的基本概念。
評分“Despite its flaws,then,economics is vital to humanity. But economics has struggled with broader questions about how human societies as a whole work. If you study economics at university,you mainly learn about those basic economic principles. They're powerful and useful but you should use them with care."
