Recommended Portfolio: Conversational Economics

Conversational Economics inaugurates a pedagogical trilogy that explores consumer and business behavior, monetary and fiscal policy, trade, and international finance. Here, author Alberto Ades does so through rigorous dialogues and imaginary interviews with iconic economists, from Adam Smith to Paul Krugman. Inspired by the Platonic tradition, it places ideas in their historical context and highlights their relevance.

Over the course of three books, the book reveals that economics is not a set of abstract formulas, but a powerful lens for interpreting our daily decisions in the face of scarcity. Far from the technical jargon and advanced mathematics of traditional textbooks, the books offer clear explanations, everyday examples, and accessible reasoning. Rather than transmitting knowledge, this book proposes a new way of thinking about the world, its resources, and our place in it. It is an essential tool for judiciously navigating the complex economic reality of the 21st century. See more: Hot or Cold?
