Economics For Dummies, 3rd Edition

La economía no es una disciplina reservada a los académicos y a los directivos de empresas. En realidad, la economía tiene que ver con todos los aspectos de la vida cotidiana y con todas las decisiones que tomamos: desde qué comemos hasta cómo nos vestimos y dónde vivimos. • ¿Crisis? — cómo combate el gobierno las recesiones y el desempleo usando la política monetaria y fiscal. • ¿Comercio libre? — cómo y porqué el comercio internacional es bueno para nosotros. • ¿Invertir en bolsa o en renta fija? — todo dependerá de tu aversión al riesgo. • ¿De quién es el pescado? — por qué los derechos de propiedad mal diseñados son responsables de muchos problemas ambientales. • ¿Quién paga, quién gana? — cómo los beneficios guían a los negocios para que produzcan los bienes y servicios cuya existencia damos por sentado. • Hormigas o elefantes — ¿por qué las empresas competitivas son mejores que los monopolios? • Más que un banco — cómo los bancos centrales controlan la política monetaria, los tipos de interés y la inflación.
