Description

Straight answers to every question you've ever had about how the economy works and how it affects your life. In this Collector's Edition of How an Economy Grows and Why It Crashes, Peter Schiff, economic expert and bestselling author of Crash Proof and The Real Crash, teams up with his brother Andrew to spin a lively economic fable that untangles many fallacies about what drives an economy. The 2010 original has been described as a "Flintstones" take on economics that entertainingly explains the beauty of free markets. This edition has been greatly expanded with a new introduction and two illustrated chapters bringing the story up to date, and it now features full color illustrations. Through colorful cartoons, humor, and deceptively simple storytelling, the Schiffs explain inflation, monetary policy, recession, and other important topics in economics in down-to-earth terms. The story follows three men on an island who barely survive by fishing with their bare hands. When one enterprising islander invents a net and starts catching more fish, the island's economy changes. Using this story, the Schiffs apply their no-prisoners logic to expose the fallacies and gaps permeating the global economic conversation. The Collector's edition aims to help readers gain a practical understanding of How an Economy Grows and Why It Crashes.
