What exactly is a credit crunch? Why do footballers earn so much more than the rest of us? Which country is likely to be the world’s leading economy in ten years’ time? And how does economics affect each one of us, every day?
In the seventh volume of the successful 50 Ideas series, Daily Telegraph economics editor Edmund Conway introduces and explains the central ideas of economics in a series of fifty clear and concise essays. Beginning with an exploration of the basic theories, such as Adam Smith’s “invisible hand,” and concluding with the latest research into the links between wealth and happiness, he sheds light on all the essential topics needed to understand booms and busts, bulls and bears, and the way the world really works.

" Good summary of basic ideas. Liberal slant. "
" A good intro and representation of mainstream veiws "
" An interesting introduction to a subject that I regularly wish I knew more about. I learnt from this book that Economists are generally incurable optimists with a worryingly simplistic view of human nature. "
