Publisher's Synopsis
This book is innovative in methodology, novel in ideas and rich in contents. The book is the first attempt to amalgamate economics with poetry, mythologies, novels, paintings, and movies that pertain to economic subjects. It presents the principles of economics in a systematic manner, but in plain and lyrical English. Through analysing real-world issues using solid economic theory, and literary prose, the topics discussed in the book allow for a straight to the point analysis which can be used by all. The book serves as a guide to college undergraduate and MBA students who are beginning to study economics and as a navigator to lay readers including financial practitioners, fund managers, and portfolio investors who need economics knowledge in their chosen fields. The book introduces 22 European, American, Chinese, Japanese and Korean poems which are related to economic subjects.
