4.0 out of 5 stars Simple way to understand economics
Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 9 October 2021

Very simple language to make Economics understood by non-economics background people. It works not only for teenagers but for adult engineers like me.

Though the author had oversimplified stuff, but that was much needed for a book like this. This book will influence people to read more detailed versions if they are interested

5.0 out of 5 stars A short, delightful introduction of economics.
Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 27 March 2019

So you want to know about economics by roop pai is a great and enjoyable read for a person who doesn’t know much about economics.

Here are the pros and key points of the book.

1.The ancient history of trade and economics.How it all started

2.How an economy forms and what are its cogwheels.

3. How many types of economy is there?

4.How demand and supply effect inflation.

5.Why some countries currency have much more value than their counterparts

6. Simple and precise examples demonstrated with the help of pictures and cartoons.
7.Why black pepper was priced more than gold in Europe.

8. Once India had a share of 25% of the world’s GDP and How East India took over it.

9.How the price of different things is decided.

10.How economics is a brilliant amalgam of Mathematics and behavioral psychology.

Cons:

As a newbie in economics, I didn’t find anything out of the context and irrational in this book. So personally recommending this book to everyone who wants to understand economics as a beginner.

4.5/5
