Living through a pandemic,\ngovernments had to work out how to put economies into a deep freeze without\ndestroying them. Avoiding climate catastrophe means changing economies so that\nthey don't bake the world.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn explaining how economic thinking is indispensable to tackling these huge\nproblems, this book is a sure-footed guide, spanning Aristotle's ideas about\nrestraining consumption, Adam Smith's thinking about the importance of moral\ncharacter for sustained economic development, and Esther Duflo's ongoing work\nto help the world's poorest communities lift themselves out of poverty. It\nshows how the greatest economic thinkers – Karl Marx, Maynard Keynes, and\nFriedrich Hayek, among many others – have enabled us to see the world\ndifferently, and how we can make it better.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIt shows that economic thinking emerged, long before there were economists –\nand that good economics is about much more than the economy, so everyone should\nunderstand these vital ideas.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nEntertaining and educational, you'll soon be rethinking what you know about\neconomics, especially when the book shows how women found a place in the\ndevelopment of ideas even when discrimination denied them any formal role.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eDr Robbie Mochrie \u003c\/b\u003eis an economics teacher with\nover 30 years of experience.
