Cartoon Guide To Economics Tp
Cartoon Guide To Economics Tp from HarperCollins. Written by Larry Gonick, Benjamin Ho. Interior art by Larry Gonick. Cover by Larry Gonick.
Award-winning, New York Times bestselling, Harvard-educated cartoonist Larry Gonick returns to supply his audience’s demand with a comprehensive and illustrated primer on economics. Gonick illustrates how the seed concept of “making decisions under scarcity” blooms and branches into all of the ideas that make up modern economics—both the micro concepts that describe our everyday interactions (like rational choice, game theory, and market failures) and the macro material that rules the headlines and guides government policy (like GDP, inequality, unemployment, inflation, and interest rates). In The Cartoon Guide to Economics, you’ll find illustrated and entertaining deep-dives into: The birth and evolution of economics, from the gift economy of cavepeople to coinage and paper money to the digitized globalism of modern times.The basics of supply and demand explained via the all-important donut market.The reason why having some unemployment isn’t always a bad thing (yes, really—and no, that doesn’t mean you can quit your job).Displaying the complicated mathematics of economics with crystal-clear graphs and graphics.Gonick’s wry wit and humorous examples—coupled with his legendary cartooning skills and bolstered by the brain of Vassar economics professor Ben Ho—distill these dense and sometimes difficult topics into material that’s relatable, easy to digest, and fun to read. Students and professors, as well as the casually curious, will emerge with a deeper understanding of the core principles of economics, and Gonick will—somehow, impossibly—make them laugh along the way.
