that was a lot. really fast.
If "economics" were a movie, then I feel like I just watched a gif of the trailer.

A Little History of Economics is a fast-paced, rollicking ride into the evolution of economics from the Grecian city states to behavioural and development economics that exists today. We get to meet all the famous names in economics like Adam Smith, Karl Marx, John Nash, Amartya Sen amongst others. During this journey, we get to learn about capitalism, communism, microeconomics, macroeconomics, Keynesian theories and Friedman's rebuttal.
Don't get me wrong. Even though this sounds like an economics textbook, it is not. It is in fact similar to a historical fiction (almost a thriller of sorts).

Un libro muy útil como introducción a las diferentes teorías y corrientes de la economía política. En general, el libro sigue un orden cronológico en el que cada capítulo está dedicado a un autor, su teoría, contexto y críticas o reflexiones acerca de sus postulados.
Kishtainy ha hecho un magnífico trabajo a la hora de hacer la historia del pensamiento económico digerible y accesible para todos los públicos.
Como único punto negativo destacaría la casi inexistencia de autores o teorías que no procedan de Europa o Estados Unidos, lo que me hace pensar que un título más adecuado sería 'A Little History of Western Economics'.

My high school didn't have an Economics class. This helped on a subject that I'm fascinated with.
