Spin-Free Economics: A No-Nonsense, Nonpartisan Guide to Today's Global Economic Debates
Categories: Business & Money
Spin-Free Economics (McGraw-Hill, 2008) is economist Nariman Behravesh's guide to what mainstream economists broadly agree on in the political debates of the 2000s. Behravesh, chief economist of the forecasting firm Global Insight, explains in plain language why markets usually allocate resources well, why competition benefits consumers and why growth matters. Chapters cover globalization and trade, good and bad government, poverty, inequality and job insecurity, macroeconomic policy and financial markets, separating evidence from partisan spin and showing where genuine disagreement remains.
