Description

Economics for Humans, Second Edition by Julie A. Nelson is a thought-provoking exploration of how our economic world reflects and shapes human relationships. The author argues that economics should be seen as an integral part of human well-being, rather than a separate entity that operates independently. Nelson challenges the common assumption that economics is a machine-like system that operates outside of human values. Instead, she suggests that an economy can be understood as a living thing that requires attention and care to thrive. This perspective has implications for how we approach business, markets, and social well-being. The second edition of Economics for Humans has been updated with new discussions and a chapter on the relationship between economic growth and ecological sustainability.
