Collection: Economics

Economics is a social science that focuses on the production and distribution of products and goods, and ultimately wealth. That's a dictionary style definition, at least. You could also see it as the study of how you are getting rinsed for money by people who have more money than you. I’m not sure you can stop that happening, but to give yourself half a chance you need to know exactly what is happening. That’s where books on economics come in.

For a subject that can be very dry, there are a surprising number of authors who are working hard at making things like macro-economics, crypto currencies and economic policy entertaining to read about. So you should give them a go. You will probably learn something. You might not like what you learn, but that’s the risk you take. (risk - also something that comes up in economics books quite a bit)
