Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I'm a writer, economist and historian. I believe that the history of economic thinking and of real economic struggles can tell us a lot about our current situation and, for me, it’s in vivid writing that anyone can respond to where all this really comes to life. Most of all, I’m interested in the stories we tell ourselves about our economic world, and why they matter. My latest book, A Little History of Economics, was published by Yale University Press in March 2017. You can find out more about me at www.niallkishtainy.com and follow me on Twitter @niallkishtainy.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Okonomische Konzepte zum Blättern und Erinnern
    Reviewed in Germany on October 17, 2014
    Verified Purchase
    200 Key Concepts der Wirtschaftswissenschaften zu erklären, das verspricht der Untertitel dieses Buches. Je eine Seite Text und eine Grafik pro "Konzept" spendiert uns der Autor. Darunter sind so allgemeine Dinge wie 'supply and demand', aber auch spezielle wie 'Coase Theorem'.
    Natürlich liefert eine knappe Seite nicht mehr als ein Lexikoneintrag. Das Buch eignet sich somit a) als Erstinformation "worum geht es da überhaupt" und b) als Erinnerungshilfe "was war das nochmal? Für den Nicht-Ökonomen sicher auch ein interessanter Überblick, womit sich Ökonomen so alles beschäftigen.
    Für den günstigen Preis (4.20 als kindle Version oder ca 10.00 EUR gedruckt) ein guter Kauf.

    Witziges Detail: in meiner Version hat wohl jemand eine UK -> US Übersetzung versucht, mit dem Ergebnis, dass aus Beispielen mit 100 GBP dann Beispiele mit 163 USD wurden :-)
    ... womit nun auch gesagt ist, dass das Buch englische Sprachkenntnisse voraussetzt.

    Great book. Clear concise descriptions of economic concepts. This is not an encyclopaedia, it just gives you enough info to get the idea. You would then need to do more studying to develop your understanding further. Highly recommended for people with a passing interest in economics.

    Currently in University studying economics. This book is genius, as it helps you to recap all the theories and models that were done at high school. With short definitions and explanations, I find it is the quickest way to brush up on general economics.
