Description
Edible Economics: A Hungry Economist Explains the World by Ha-Joon Chang is a fresh take on economic thinking. For decades, a single free market philosophy has dominated global economics, but Chang argues that this approach is bland and unhealthy. By exploring the stories behind familiar food items from around the world, Chang makes challenging economic ideas more palatable. From the insights chocolate offers into post-industrial knowledge economies to the ways in which okra speaks to capitalism's relationship with freedom and unfreedom, Chang serves up a feast of bold ideas.
