The Economist's View of the World

And the Quest for Well-Being

Beschreibung

This tour of the economist's mind explains the utility of crucial economic concepts. Rhoads uses relevant political examples to state his case, discusses controversies surrounding redistribution of wealth, and offers a critique of economists' unbalanced emphasis on narrow self-interest as both controlling motive and route to happiness.
