Resumen del Editor
In this entertaining and informative guide, author Howard Yaruss breaks down our economic system in a straightforward way, avoiding jargon, formulas, graphs, and other technical material so common in books on this subject. Instead, he creates a compelling and comprehensive picture of our economy using accessible analogies, real-world observations, and entertaining anecdotes.
Understandable Economics will enable listeners to answer questions such as:
- Why is inequality soaring and what can we do about it?
- Do tax cuts for the wealthy create jobs or just create more inequality?
- Where does money come from, why does it have value, and who controls it?
- What does the Fed do and how does it affect our lives?
- Could alternative currencies like Bitcoin replace the dollar?
- Is our national debt a threat?
- Why do so many people believe free trade is good if it causes some people to lose jobs?
- Why does the economy regularly turn down and how can we get it back on track?
- And many more.
Understandable Economics provides the context, tools, and foundational knowledge listeners need to thoroughly understand our economy, determine which policies would work best, and champion those policies effectively.

Raghuram Rajan was one of the few economists who warned of the global financial crisis before it hit. Now, as the world struggles to recover, it's tempting to blame what happened on just a few greedy bankers who took irrational risks and left the rest of us to foot the bill. In Fault Lines, Rajan argues that serious flaws in the economy are also to blame, and warns that a potentially more devastating crisis awaits us if they aren't fixed.

Historia
The United States has two separate banking systems today - one serving the well-to-do and another exploiting everyone else. How the Other Half Banks contributes to the growing conversation on American inequality by highlighting one of its prime causes: unequal credit. Mehrsa Baradaran examines how a significant portion of the population, deserted by banks, is forced to wander through a Wild West of payday lenders and check-cashing services to cover emergency expenses and pay for necessities - all thanks to deregulation that began in the 1970s.

Even after the ruinous financial crisis of 2008, America is still beset by the depredations of an oligarchy that is now bigger, more profitable, and more resistant to regulation than ever. Anchored by six megabanks, which together control assets amounting to more than 60 percent of the country's gross domestic product, these financial institutions (now more emphatically "too big to fail") continue to hold the global economy hostage.

While many blamed Wall Street for the financial meltdown, Aftershock points a finger at a national economy in which wealth is increasingly concentrated at the top - and where a grasping middle class simply does not have the resources to remain viable.

Consider the $20 bill. It has no more value, as a simple slip of paper, than Monopoly money. Yet even children recognize that tearing one into small pieces is an act of inconceivable stupidity. What makes a $20 bill actually worth $20? In the third volume of his best-selling Naked series, Charles Wheelan uses this seemingly simple question to open the door to the surprisingly colorful world of money and banking.

Historia
When Jean Tirole won the 2014 Nobel Prize in Economics, he suddenly found himself being stopped in the street by complete strangers and asked to comment on issues of the day, no matter how distant from his own areas of research. His transformation from academic economist to public intellectual prompted him to reflect further on the role economists and their discipline play in society. The result is Economics for the Common Good, a passionate manifesto for a world in which economics, far from being a "dismal science," is a positive force for the common good.

Historia
A national best-seller, Dead Aid unflinchingly confronts one of the greatest myths of our time: that billions of dollars in aid sent from wealthy countries to developing African nations has helped to reduce poverty and increase growth. In fact, poverty levels continue to escalate and growth rates have steadily declined - and millions continue to suffer. Debunking the current model of international aid promoted by both Hollywood celebrities and policy makers, Dambisa Moyo offers a bold new road map for financing the development of the world's poorest countries.

The years since the Great Crisis of 2008 have seen slow growth, high unemployment, falling home values, chronic deficits, a deepening disaster in Europe - and a stale argument between two false solutions, “austerity” on one side and “stimulus” on the other. Both sides and practically all analyses of the crisis so far take for granted that the economic growth from the early 1950s until 2000 - interrupted only by the troubled 1970s - represented a normal performance.

Ultimately, he reached a surprising conclusion: American markets, once a model for the world, are giving up on healthy competition.

The finance sector of Western economies is too large and attracts too many of the smartest college graduates. Financialization over the past three decades has created a structure that lacks resilience and supports absurd volumes of trading. The finance sector devotes too little attention to the search for new investment opportunities and the stewardship of existing ones, and far too much to secondary-market dealing in existing assets. Regulation has contributed more to the problems than the solutions.

In Putinomics, Chris Miller examines the making of Russian economic policy since Vladimir Putin took power in 1999. Miller argues that Putin's economic strategy has functioned far more effectively than most Westerners realize. While acknowledging that part of Putin's successes - above all, quadrupling per capita GDP in just a decade and a half - can be attributed to cashing in on high oil prices, Miller details the government policies that have also been fundamental to Russia's growth.

A million-copy seller, Henry Hazlitt’s Economics in One Lesson is a classic economic primer. But it is also much more, having become a fundamental influence on modern “libertarian” economics of the type espoused by Ron Paul and others. Called by H. L. Mencken “one of the few economists in history who could really write,” Henry Hazlitt achieved lasting fame for this brilliant but concise work.

Macroeconomics takes a broad perspective on the economy of a country or region; it studies economic changes in the aggregate, collecting data on production, unemployment, inflation, consumption, investment, trade, and other aspects of national and international economic life. Policymakers depend on macroeconomists' knowledge when making decisions about such issues as taxes and the public budget, monetary and exchange rate policies, and trade policies-all of which, in turn, affect decisions made by individuals and businesses.

Historia
A million-copy seller, Henry Hazlitt’s Economics in One Lesson is a classic economic primer. But it is also much more, having become a fundamental influence on modern “libertarian” economics of the type espoused by Ron Paul and others. Called by H. L. Mencken “one of the few economists in history who could really write,” Henry Hazlitt achieved lasting fame for this brilliant but concise work.

Historia
Macroeconomics takes a broad perspective on the economy of a country or region; it studies economic changes in the aggregate, collecting data on production, unemployment, inflation, consumption, investment, trade, and other aspects of national and international economic life. Policymakers depend on macroeconomists' knowledge when making decisions about such issues as taxes and the public budget, monetary and exchange rate policies, and trade policies-all of which, in turn, affect decisions made by individuals and businesses.

great snapshot approach to economics
I like how this book gave some examples on how to solve some economic imbalances in logical ways. this book does lean a little democratic, so there is a balance between anti-rich & more efficient government spending. good read though

Great for gaining an understading of our economy
If you have ever taken a course in economics or read a few books on the subject, you will be really impressed with how clear and interesting this book is. The narrative was surprisingly easy to follow and understand. It explains things I've always wondered about or heard about, but never really understood. I think this book would appeal to people on both the left and the right of the political spectrum. I was particularly impressed by the book's refusal to bound by any ideological straight jacket (unlike so many recent books about economics and public policy). It tells it like it is. I really enjoyed listening to it and think everyone would benefit from it.

Economic made simple but not oversimplified
👍🏾 enough said. Get it listen to it. Form your own opinion. Economics can be convoluted so it's great this book sticks to relavent points.

Waste of money
One of the worst books I have ever listened to.
The author’s reading of the book and his voice is irritating.
He knows nothing about a simple explanation of the economy. He doesn’t understand it.

Sophomoric and stilted
I stopped listening after Chapter 2 due to several off-based assertions. There were several but I’ll pick on one.
Income inequality is due to a failure of “the system” a.k.a. Capitalism. This is not only untrue, but in direct conflict with his previous statements - how capitalism lifted millions of people out of poverty in the previous century. Apparently capitalism works phenomenally well (unprecedented in the history of the world according to the author) when viewed after several decades, but fails when viewed presently.
His premise fails to address the very nature of capitalism and how it accomplished all that it has - through competition and meritocracy which leverage inequality, while at the same time increasing the standard of living for everyone, and paradoxically decreasing the overall inequality.
No one on the planet goes to the store and picks the lesser product suffering from inequality to correct the "injustice". His premise ignores the real reasons for income inequality in those communities - disproportionate higher rates of - single motherhood, deadbeat fathers, child illiteracy, youth incarceration. There's no amount of free money you can throw at those kinds of issues to solve them.
Capitalism is not a free ride - there's a cost to the individual. But it provides the same way out for poor people today, as it has for millions in the past - through hard work, adding value to yourself and others, sacrifice and delayed gratification.
