Description

Economics is unavoidably central to any attempt to improve our quality of life, but most people do not know why, or how to question its underlying assumptions.

The Skeptical Economist rejects the story told by other popular economics books.

Responding to Western malaise about quality of life, and a growing curiosity about economics and its relevance to these concerns, Jonathan Aldred argues that economics is not an agreed body of knowledge or an objective science.

In reality economics is built on ethical foundations - distinctive and controversial views about how we ought to live, what we value and why.

This revealing and entertaining book exposes these hidden assumptions, and opens up the black box of modern economics to reveal that conventional wisdom is not what it appears to be.

The Skeptical Economist will challenge us all to examine the assumptions behind the economics of our current way of life.

It rediscovers the ethics at the heart of economics.
