{"product_id":"edible-economics","title":"Edible Economics","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor 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.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e In \u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEdible Economics\u003c\/i\u003e, Chang makes challenging economic ideas more palatable by plating them alongside anecdotes about food from around the world.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e 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.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Myth-busting, witty and thought-provoking, \u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEdible Economics \u003c\/i\u003eshows 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e Published: 2022 in UK\u003cbr\u003e Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd\u003cbr\u003e Pages: 192\u003cbr\u003e Language: English\u003cbr\u003e ISBN 13: 9780241585658\u003cbr\u003e ISBN 10: 0241585651\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ha-Joon Chang","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43838317396234,"sku":"","price":21.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/products\/9780141991849_5ef29bfd-b2f0-416e-bf7a-935fbea7ee5e.jpg?v=1668683601","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/edible-economics","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
