In this economy? : how money & markets really work / by Scanlon, Kyla,author.;: Includes bibliographical references and index."An illustrated guide to the mad math and terrible terminology of economics, from one of the internet's favorite financial educators. The stuff you really need to know about how the economy works? It's pretty simple. Yes, even if you were bored to tears in economics class, or if you're cross-eyed from reading painfully convoluted -- or straight-up misguided -- financial commentary. In this particularly disorienting era, many have turned to a young economic analyst named Kyla Scanlon for answers. Now, Scanlon is writing a definitive, approachable guide to the key concepts and mechanics of economics and the most common myths and fallacies to steer clear of. Through her trademark blend of creative analogies, clever illustrations, refreshingly lucid language -- and even quotes from poetry, literature, and philosophy -- she answers questions such as: What is Fed cred, Fed flexing, and Fedspeak? Is our national debt really a threat? What is a 'mild' recession, exactly? What's really happening in the labor market, and how do we improve it for workers? At a time when experts overcomplicate simple things loudly, choosing to generate smoke rather than clearing the air, In This Economy? shows that understanding the markets -- and the systems they operate in -- is easier than you think. Whether you're worried about your mortgage rate, job security, bank account balance, or the health of the broader economy, this concise and witty guide will give you the confidence to make smarter financial decisions -- no matter what the headlines say"--; Subjects: Economics.;; Available copies: 1 / Total copies: 1; unAPI

Tarzan economics : eight principles for pivoting through disruption / by Page, Will,author.;: Includes bibliographical references and index."As the Chief Economist at Spotify, Will Page has had the best seat in the house for witnessing - and harnessing - the power of disruptive change. Music has often been the canary in the coal mine for the major technological and societal shifts that shake the way media companies operate, and if there is one thing Page has learned from the digital revolution it's the businesses must be ready to pivot. Drawing from fascinating music industry case studies, Page examines the ten game-changers that disruption has thrown into sharp relief as keys to survival in any sector. Businesses need to be ready and willing to change - and if necessary, be prepared to rebuild entire organizations and business models to do so. In other words, survival in business over the long haul has everything to do with knowing when revolutionary changes are coming and being prepared to adapt early when those imminent shifts become permanent. A rare book of economics that offers actionable takeaways in easy to understand language, Tarzan Economics is sure to be a must read for anyone looking to failsafe their business"--; Subjects: Corporate reorganizations.; Strategic planning.; Organizational change.;; Available copies: 1 / Total copies: 1; unAPI
Edible economics : a hungry economist explains the world / by Chang, Ha-Joon,author.;: Includes bibliographical references and index."Economic thinking-about climate change, immigration, austerity, automation and much more-in its most digestible form. For decades, a single free market philosophy has dominated global economics. But this is bland and unhealthy-like British food in the 1980s, when bestselling author and Cambridge economist Ha-Joon Chang first arrived in the UK from South Korea. Just as eating a wide range of cuisines contributes to a balanced diet, so too is it essential we listen to a variety of economic perspectives. In Edible Economics, Chang makes challenging economic ideas more palatable by plating them alongside anecdotes about food from around the world. Beginning each chapter with a menu, Chang uses the stories behind key ingredients-where they come from, how they are cooked and consumed, what they mean to different cultures-to explore economic theory. For Chang, strawberries are delicious with cream, but they also prophesise a jobless future; chocolate is a wonderful pudding, but more exciting are the insights it offers into post-industrial knowledge economies. Explaining everything from the hidden cost of care work to the misleading language of the free market as he cooks dishes like anchovy and egg toast, Gambas al Ajillo and Korean dotori mook, Ha-Joon Chang serves up an easy-to-digest feast of bold ideas. Myth-busting, witty and thought-provoking, Edible Economics shows that getting to grips with the economy is like learning a recipe: if we understand it, we can change it-and, with it, the world"--Publisher's description.; Subjects: Anecdotes.; Economics.; Food; Food.;; Available copies: 1 / Total copies: 1; unAPI
