A fun take on some of the biggest questions in economics, made
accessible for non-experts (and dogs)
Monty is a dog, not a financial genius, but economics still shapes his
everyday life.
Over the course of seventeen walks, Dr Rebecca Campbell chews over
economic concepts and investigates how they apply to our lives - people
and mutts alike. There are no graphs, no charts (Monty can't read them)
and definitely no calculus!
How to Teach Economics to Your Dog tackles the knotty question of what
economics actually is. Is it a mathematical science like physics? Or a
moral and philosophical investigation of how societies should manage
scarce resources?
Along the way we meet some of the great thinkers from Adam Smith to
Thomas Piketty, and ponder questions such as: What on earth does
quantitative easing mean? And why are some countries so much richer than
others?
