Sobre este item

New York, Evanston, and London: Riverhead Books/Penguin Group, 2010. Paperback. Very Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7?" - 9?" tall. Trade Paperback in Very Good Condition. Gently used book, remainder mark lower edge, slight ripple to upper corner. Internals clean and unmarked. Binding tight and solid, square. The author weaves together the elements of history, economics, politics, and human studies, showing the ways in which governments and countries make concrete choices that determine their destinies. Giving examples of economic triumphs and disasters, he explains how some countries have gone wrong and others right, and why it is difficult to change course once you're on the path to ruin. The larger questions he discusses are about decisions countries make, why they make them, and what these choices mean for the future of the global economy. 352 pages with bibliography and index. 2010, Riverhead Books/Penguin Group, New York, New York, USA

Sinopse

A "provocative...persuasive" ( The New York Times ) book that examines countries' economic destinies. In False Economy , Alan Beattie weaves together the economic choices, political choices, economic history, and human stories, that determine whether governments and countries remain rich or poor. He also addresses larger questions about why they make the choices they do, and what those mean for the future of our global economy. But despite the heady subject matter, False Economy is a lively and lucid book that engagingly and thought-provokingly examines macroeconomics, economic topics, and the fault lines and successes that can make or break a culture or induce a global depression. Along the way, readers will discover why Africa doesn't grow cocaine, why our asparagus comes from Peru, why our keyboard spells QWERTY, and why giant pandas are living on borrowed time.
