Niall Kishtainy, former economic policy advisor to the UK government and the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa, is guest teacher, department of economic history, London School of Economics, and author of The Economics Book and Economics in Minutes. He lives in London.
What causes poverty? Are economic crises inevitable under capitalism? Is government intervention in an economy a helpful approach or a disastrous idea? The answers to such basic economic questions matter to everyone, yet the unfamiliar jargon and math of economics can seem daunting. This clear, accessible, and even humorous book is ideal for young readers new to economics and for all readers who seek a better understanding of the full sweep of economic history and ideas.
Economic historian Niall Kishtainy organizes short, chronological chapters that center on big ideas and events. He recounts the contributions of key thinkers including Adam Smith, David Ricardo, Karl Marx, John Maynard Keynes, and others, while examining topics ranging from the invention of money and the rise of agrarianism to the Great Depression, entrepreneurship, environmental destruction, inequality, and behavioral economics. The result is a uniquely enjoyable volume that succeeds in illuminating the economic ideas and forces that shape our world.
这本书与其说是通识课,不如说是大事记,总共40章,每章只有3到6分钟,用通俗需要介绍一种经济学发展史上的重要观点和他的代表人物,没有公式、图表、计算,取而代之的是各种比喻。 这本书适合理清经济学发展的历史脉络,也可以让你认识的,经济是如此的复杂,以至于各种完全对...

评分还算不错的经济学入门读物。历史的部分其实不多,主要是介绍现代经济学的基本概念。
评分按照英文原书的名称,这才是货真价实的“简史”,不知道出版者为什么选了通识这个名字,估计是想蹭薛教授流量。这本书以经济学历史发展为线,介绍了经济学的研究范畴和主要课题,通俗简洁,倒也担得起通识这个名字。我在网上搜了一下,其实这是耶鲁大学一套简史系列中的一本,这个系列都叫A little history of ......,有世界史、哲学、宗教、考古等。据goodreads评分,普遍中规中矩。本书翻译称不上精彩,还算尚可,适合初学者入门。

评分“Despite its flaws,then,economics is vital to humanity. But economics has struggled with broader questions about how human societies as a whole work. If you study economics at university,you mainly learn about those basic economic principles. They're powerful and useful but you should use them with care."
