內容簡介: |
An engaging introduction to the fundamental elements of an
economy "How an Economy Grows and Why it Doesn''t" uses
illustration, humor, and accessible storytelling to explain complex
topics of economic growth and monetary systems. In it, economic
expert and bestselling author, Peter Schiff, presents economics in
two informative, yet thoroughly entertaining tales. Expanding on
two tales previously published by Schiff''s father, a trader and
financial expert, this book takes complex economic issues and
distills them into a rousing allegory. With wit and humor, Schiff
explains the roots of economic growth, the uses of capital, the
destructive nature of consumer credit, and many other topical
principles of economic theory. From Peter Schiff, the bestselling
author of "Crash Proof," this new book is An insightfully
illustrated book that both entertains and educates readers about
our economic system and A guide to understanding the concepts of
risk, creation of capital assets, return, consumption, saving, and
borrowing The tales told here may sound simple enough, but they
will leave you with a powerful understanding of "How an Economy
Grows and Why it Doesn''t."
