Economics: The User’s Guide is a clear, accessible introduction to how the global economy really works—and why economics matters in everyday life. Written by renowned Cambridge economist Ha-Joon Chang, the book demystifies complex economic ideas, challenges mainstream assumptions, and shows how different economic theories shape policies, societies, and outcomes. Instead of abstract models, Chang focuses on real-world examples that explain inequality, growth, trade, and development in a way anyone can understand. Buy in Kenya with fast delivery.
