Críticas:

'Stanford is that rare breed: the teacher who changed your life. He has written a book - both pragmatic and idealistic - with the power to change the world' (Naomi Klein, author of This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate and No Logo.)

'Jim Stanford explains what's worth trusting in economics and what's not in an accessible way. Read this book.' (Steve Keen, Professor and Head, School of Economics, Politics & History, Kingston University, London, U.K.)

‘This book helps us understand what the newspapers never explain: how these economic crises are a product of the inequalities and incapacity for social foresight that is capitalism’s everyday economics’ (Hilary Wainwright, editor of Red Pepper)

'Economics for Everyone is quite simply the best critical introduction to economics you can find' (Frank Stilwell, Professor Emeritus of Political Economy, University of Sydney, Australia)

'This book is clear, compelling, lively, and anger-provoking, all at once' (Robert Pollin, Distinguished Professor of Economics and Co-Director of the Political Economy Research Institute (PERI), University of Massachusetts-Amherst, U.S.A.)

Reseña del editor:

Economics is too important to be left to the economists. This concise and readable book provides non-specialist readers with all the information they need to understand how capitalism works (and how it doesn't).

Economics for Everyone, now published in second edition, is an antidote to the abstract and ideological way that economics is normally taught and reported. Key concepts such as finance, competition and wages are explored, and their importance to everyday life is revealed. Stanford answers questions such as "Do workers need capitalists?", "Why does capitalism harm the environment?", and "What really happens on the stock market?"

The book will appeal to those working for a fairer world, and students of social sciences who need to engage with economics. It is illustrated with humorous and educational cartoons by Tony Biddle, and is supported with a comprehensive set of web-based course materials for popular economics courses.
