Summary
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Xavier Sala I Martin illustrates that economy can be fun and interesting, that it should not be abstract or difficult, and he proves it by using examples of many decisions that we make in our everyday lives. After his successful TV series "Economics in Colors", Sala I Martin decided to make each episode a chapter of the book and add more detailed information with deeper analysis.
Each chapter starts with a story that sets an example of an economic puzzle or riddle, followed by a descent into one of the eight fields of economics that allows us to discover concepts and curious anecdotes, and finally ends with a conclusion that hopes to solve the initial riddle.
