Produktinformationen zu „The Traveling Economist (ePub)“
This fascinating book introduces travelers-of the body or the mind-to a few simple economic concepts that will help them to think differently and more deeply about the differences between the people and the places they visit during their journeys.
The principles and mechanics of economics are firmly rooted in everything around us, in our home country as well as in every nation and culture around the world. Having a basic grasp of economics can help all travelers to think more carefully about why things work differently in different places. Armed with this knowledge, readers will be equipped to better appreciate-and learn from-the beauty and complexity of the world around us.
The Traveling Economist: Using Economics to Think about What Makes Us All So Different and the Same illustrates important economic concepts that every traveler and world citizen should understand. Employing clear, jargon-free explanations and illustrated with real-life examples, Knoop uniquely focuses on the interplay between travel and economics. He uses our shared travel experiences to illustrate exactly how economic thinking supplies such a powerful framework for understanding the world around us. More than simply explaining economics through travel experiences, this book enables adventurers who desperately want to avoid being tourists-i.e., people who travel to see what they know is there-to become explorers: those who learn each and every day from what they witness.
