A Very Short History of Economics brings to light the hidden economic forces behind war, innovation, and social transformation, providing a comprehensive overview of capitalism and the market system.
Starting from the development of agriculture and reaching up to the war in Ukraine, Andrew Leigh weaves together the most significant moments in history with his expert insights through compelling storytelling. Why did the invention of the plow lead to gender inequality? Why did certain diseases influence the expansion of colonialism? And what real-life events inspired the famous board game Monopoly?
