Stimulus: plans: good or bad? Money: who's got it? Jobs: can we afford them?
How can we, the people, understand what the banks or government knows (or says they know)? Everybody's talking about the economy, but how can you evaluate what they're saying? Author Michael Goodwin asked himself the same questions and came up with a good answer: explore the development of economic thought, examine the reality of economic practice, add a wry sense of humour and tell all through the graphic medium.
In a word, Economix. Goodwin's wit and clarity of writing along with artist Dan Burr's quirky, iconic art transform the "dismal science" of economics into a fun, fact-filled story about human nature and our attempts to make the most of what we've got ...and sometimes what our neighbors have got. Economix explains it all from the beginning of Western economic thought to markets, free or otherwise, to economic failures, successes and anomalies, to how our modern economy is grappling with war, climate change and resource limitations.
The book's graphic format means complex ideas can be comprehensive and accessible.
