From the emergence of agriculture to the present day, Leigh's masterful yet concise history of global economics traces the development of capitalism and the market system.
This small book tells a huge tale. From prehistory to the present day, Andrew Leigh unearths the hidden economic forces behind war, innovation and social change – always remembering that human beings rather than numbers are at the heart of the story.
Never has economics seemed less dismal.
