How does the global economy work?
What do different economic theories tell us about the world?
In Economics: The User's Guide, bestselling author Ha-Joon Chang explains how the global economy works, and why anyone can understand the dismal science. Unlike many economists who claim there is only one way of 'doing economics', he introduces readers to a wide range of economic theories, from classical to Keynesian, revealing how they all have their strengths, weaknesses and blind spots. By ignoring the received wisdom, and exposing the myriad forces that shape our financial fate, Chang provides the tools that every responsible citizen needs to understand - and address - our current economic woes.

My brain was not in form to be taking this in, and yet, I did get nuggets.
It's a well structured intro, covering the different schools of economics, and then exploring different facets of the economy.
Nice, hopeful conclusion that encourages us to pay attention, while acknowledging it's hard to do so while juggling everything else.
Narrator was clear. Just why so posh? 😅ahbuggrit 2026-01-08
