About this product

Product Information

Economics is too important to be left to economists. This brilliantly concise and readable book provides non-specialist readers with all the information they need to understand how capitalism works (and how it doesn't). Jim Stanford's book is an antidote to the abstract and ideological way that economics is normally taught and reported. Key concepts such as finance, competition and wage labor are explored, and their importance to everyday life is revealed. Stanford answers questions such as "Do workers need capitalists?," "Why does capitalism harm the environment?," and "What really happens on the stock market?" He offers both a realistic assessment of capitalism's strengths, and a robust critique of its many failures. This book will appeal to those working for a fairer world, and students of social sciences who need to engage with economics. The book is illustrated with humorous and educational cartoons by Tony Biddle, and is supported with a comprehensive set of web-based course materials for popular economics courses.

This book fell on my doorstep alongside newspapers reporting (another) financial crisis. It helps us understand what the newspapers never explain: these crises are a product of the inequalities and incapacity for social foresight that is capitalism's everyday economics. This understanding helps turn these crises into opportunities for change., Jim Stanford has a unique ability to explain economics in ways that average working people can totally relate to., I have been waiting all my adult life for this book. Jim Stanford, brilliant economist himself, wrote a terrific book that demystifies economics and makes the subject accessible to us all. Now there's going to be trouble!, Jim Stanford has written a wonderfully accessible and useful book for union activists or anyone else who wants to learn about how the economy works in order to change it., This book is a timely and important contribution to the intellectual fightback against economic fundamentalism. Written in Jim's incisive and practical style, this book is a 'must have' for anyone engaged in the fight for a good society., Economics For Everyone is a marvelous tool for activists. It is simple but by no means simplistic, with clear explanations and clever cartoons, Is economics the 'dismal science'? Not in Jim Stanford's capable hands. If we are to have better economic policies in the future, 'everyone' needs a guide, and this one is short but sweet., A terrific book that demystifies economics and makes the subject accessible to us all. Now there's going to be trouble!, Jim Stanford has provided a highly readable yet rigorous guide to the economics of capitalism. It is to be highly commended for its comprehensive yet critical coverage - from work to globalisation, the environment to high finance., Stanford is that rare breed: the teacher who changed your life. He has written a book - both pragmatic and idealistic - with the power to change the world.
