היסטוריה של הכלכלה לצעירים מכל הגילים by Niall Kishtainy
4.0
[4]
Amazingly concise history of economics. The authors does a brilliant job in weaving a story through various events and economic theories of the world. Don't be fooled by the page length, as it is an incredibly dense book, divided into 40 short chapters full of information. Even though I am not usually interested in economics, the book was able to hold my interest throughout and provides a very different perspective to economics than the one I had in mind. The author does not alienate any reader by going to unnecessary mathematical details, but instead focuses of big picture theories, their developments and impact.
While the book was mostly focused on US and Europe, with only a few examples every now and then of other countries, I guess it is acceptable since those have been the regions historically with most large scale economic turbulence and growth. Overall, would definitely recommend it to anyone who feels like they don't know anything about economics.
