Fundamentals of economics as presented by American professor Stephen Landsburg. Bright, witty and exciting.
With the book of the American professor of economics and popularizer of science Stephen Landsburg you will not get comfortable on the couch: the paradoxes of science described by him cause surprise, bewilderment and even irritation. Why is it economically advantageous for ordinary air itself to have an owner? Why is it better to cut down forests for paper production from the point of view of ecology and economy? No special knowledge is required to understand the answers to these questions — the author sets out the basics of economics in a bright and witty way. But the plots and problems covered by him require serious reflection.
