From the early barter system, through the Industrial Revolution, to the emergence of globalization, economics has defined our lives. Think Like an Economist is a fun introduction to the main ideas of economics, untangling its intricacies and revealing the ways in which individuals, societies and nations allocate resources. Using a Q&A format, the book delves into questions such as:

• Why don't we just print more money? • Is cash on the way out? • How does the stock market work? • Is the whole world capitalist now?

Written in an amusing and easy-to-understand style, Anne Rooney investigates how economics can be used to improve living standards and make the world a better place.
