Accessibility is a word that must be addressed into the context of the equity axis. What makes this work a 5 star, briefly justifying , is the ability that the editor encountered to cover complicated economics terms and converting them into a flow-reading stylish publication.
Economics are often labeled as "The Dismal Science", mostly due to its correlation to an objective and mathematical approach into personal issues. In other words, economics are used by governments and companies to predict or influence your approach on private decisions. Despite the classic view that small entrepreneurs can move in and speculate into the market or inside economics itself, there are tons of evidence that your decisions could be influenced by overwhelming opinions and policy making. When analyzed through the neuroscience lens, decisions about consumption could be labeled as unpredictable (to some extent), or easily predictable in a short-mid term analysis. This is a debate that humanity might still be confronted for centuries (as it was for centuries ago).
Following this reasoning, the book delivers exactly what is intended to: accessibility to any reader into the surface of Economics, while provoking thoughts about a science that seems to be open only for a few. Thus, the reader of any age, class, or occupation can partake into the short lessons of this science; one that is not so shadowy, as its own linguistic formation depicts οικονομία (oiko - nomos ) , from the Greek: the administration of ones house.
In this sense , the author provides the spotlight necessary to reassure basic concepts on the economical pillars of society. Thus, transforming complicated ideas, thesis or concepts into shorter versions.
Even it might give the impression of dimming the scope of the subject that many scientists devoted their lives studying deeply; yet, this ability ( of resuming theories) is highly necessary in a world that is constantly dropping a cascade of information and fast passed reading .
Still, if one would say economics is a by-product of capitalism, and must be changed or adapted within subjects, such as: sociology, anthropology or any other science, this work came to show to any person that Economics makes sense, and might never be separated from the neural processes that involves basic human necessities. Therefore, as this concept (studied to an enormous extent) depicts: Homo oeconomicus [ˈhɔmoː ɔe̯kɔˈnɔmɪkʊs] (Latin hŏmō oeconomicus 'economic man'), also known as the rational agent behind personal economical needs. Accordingly, in this line of reasoning: the rational being that is responsible for the household administration; considering household on any of its forms.
Whereas, some theorists advocates that human beings cannot be canned inside any utilitarian formula or equation, due to the brain capability of assuming contrasting variabilities, this book illustrates how far any transhumanist ideology is from adjusting to this ever changing science called ''Economics''.
Summarizing, it is a fun ride into basic concepts for some, or an entertaining review for experts.
