{"product_id":"basic-economics","title":"Basic Economics","description":"The bestselling citizen’s guide to economics\n\n“Thomas Sowell is the nation’s greatest living economist.” —American Spectator   \n\nBasic Economics is a citizen’s guide to economics, written for those who want to understand how the economy works but have no interest in jargon or equations. Bestselling economist Thomas Sowell explains the general principles underlying different economic systems: capitalist, socialist, feudal, and so on. In readable language, he shows how to critique economic policies in terms of the incentives they create, rather than the goals they proclaim. With clear explanations of the entire field, from rent control and the rise and fall of businesses to the international balance of payments, this is the first book for anyone who wishes to understand how the economy functions.\n\nDrawing on lively examples from around the world and from centuries of history, Sowell explains basic economic principles for the general public in plain English.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0465060730\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0465060730.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Sowell, Thomas\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
