This book was given to me in a lecture on week 5 of ‘Ideas that Shaped the Business World: Markets and Consumers’ and I honestly enjoyed reading it and I gained a lot out of it such as looking at economics from a different perspective, a more contemporary I would say. This could be observed throughout his book, as he offers the readers a different way of looking at economics and what it actually means for the world. Chang is part of the research group of University of Cambridge and he is working on alternative approaches to economics, history of economic thought and methodology. The book ‘Economics: The User’s Guide’ by Ha- Joon Chang was first published by Pelican books in 2014 and is his latest book.
