Description
An audiobook about how to maintain resilience and optimism even in the most unpredictable economic realities!
Aleksandr Nikonov is a Russian journalist, publicist, and writer, author of popular books on social, historical, and natural science topics.
We live when the cells of our body function in harmony. So does our society — a social organism where all roles are interconnected, and all the gears of the process form an open system called the economy!
The economy is a way of life of society. And in that case, it’s not surprising that economic problems hurt all the cells of our social organism, regardless of whether we want it or not. Games with the economy are expensive for humankind, and world history has repeatedly confirmed this.
The audiobook “Wild Economics. How Money and Markets Work” is not a textbook. There are no boring economic laws and dull mathematical formulas here — instead, you’ll get an understanding of the economic essence, which is inseparably tied to society. We’ll look at the prerequisites for the formation of markets, discuss the necessity of the emergence of money, characterize existing economic systems, and examine in detail the economy of the USSR and the legacy of our past.
The higher the specialization, the deeper the economy, and the more developed civilization becomes. The first stocks appeared in free societies thousands of years ago. This fact and many others suggest that the economy develops cyclically; history has seen the most diverse “options for how things unfold.” And if we now live in an era of uncertainty, it doesn’t have to be this way forever.
