Description

“As entertaining as it’s thought provoking” (Publisher’s Weekly), Economics for the Rest of Us shows how lately’s dominant economic theories evolved, how they explicitly favor the wealthy over the poor, and why they’re not the only—or best—options.

At a time when growing numbers of individuals are deeply anxious about the workings of our economy—and when our very future as a society is up for grabs—economist Moshe Adler offers a full of life and accessible debunking of two elements that make economics the “science” of the wealthy: the definition of what’s efficient and the theory of how wages are decided. Filled with full of life examples, from food riots in Indonesia to the eminent domain in Connecticut and everyone from Adam Smith to Jeremy Bentham to Larry Summers, here’s a bold and necessary book that offers a foundation for a fundamentally more just economic system.
