Today, economics is everywhere, and it’s never been more popular— as bestselling books such as Freakonomics attest. But what is economics really about? What do the great economists think, and what can economics do for us today? David Orrell explains all in Introducing’s trademark intelligent style, accompanied by brilliant illustrations from Borin van Loon.
David Orrell is a Canadian mathematician who lives in Oxford, the university from which he received his doctorate. His previous book was Economyths (Icon, 2010).
Borin Van Loon has worked on numerous Introducing titles. He is a freelance illustrator, surrealist painter, and collagist.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Van Loon, Borin (illustrator). A comic-book introduction to economics from David Orrell, the author of Economyths:11 Ways Economics Gets it Wrong. With illustrations from Borin Van Loon. Part of the internationally-recognised Introducing Graphic Guide series. Today, it seems, all things are measured by economists. The so-called 'dismal science' has never been more popular - or, given its failure to predict or prevent the recent financial crisis, more controversial. But what are the findings of economics? Is it really a science? And how can it help our lives? Introducing Economics traces the history of the subject from the ancient Greeks to the present day. Orrell and Van Loon bring to life the contributions of great economists - such as Adam Smith, Karl Marx, John Maynard Keynes and Milton Friedman - and delve into ideas from new areas such as ecological and complexity economics that are revolutionizing the field. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers GOR004157369
