30-Second Economics: The 50 Most Thought-Provoking Economic Theories, Each Explained in Half a Minute

Digestible snippets of complex economic concepts.

If you've ever felt lost in economic conversations, "30-Second Economics" can be your quick study guide. It demystifies hefty theories and presents them with the brevity and clarity you need for those social encounters where showing off a bit of intellectual sparkle is just the ticket. Plus, let's admit that understanding economics in bite-sized pieces can make the subject unexpectedly captivating, much like discovering a shortcut through a maze.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Keyensian Economics, Free Market Capitalism, Monetarism, Game Theory, and The Invisible Hand? Sure, you know what they all mean. That is, you've certainly heard of them. But do you know enough about these economic theories to join a dinner party debate or dazzle the bar with your financial knowledge? 30-Second Economics takes the top 50 economic theories and explains them to the general reader in half a minute, using nothing more than two pages, 300 words, and one picture. Economics will suddenly seem a lot more fun than the economy and make a lot more sense, and along the way you'll meet the founding fathers of modern economics such as Adam Smith, David Ricardo, and Alfred Marshall. From Marxism to Mercantilism, plus everything in between, this is the ultimate "crash" course in economic theory.
