The Shortest History Of Economics by Andrew Leigh
A brisk, accessible tour of how economic ideas evolved from ancient trade to today’s data-driven, behavioral approaches, explaining core concepts like markets, incentives, money, growth, crises, and inequality through vivid stories and real-world examples. It shows how theories have risen in response to historical shocks, how experiments and evidence have reshaped policy, and how insights about competition, externalities, and human psychology can help tackle contemporary challenges such as climate change, stagnant productivity, and social mobility.
