Description
In Fifty Things That Made the Modern Economy, economist Tim Harford introduced a selection of fifty radical inventions that changed the world. In this follow-up, he presents another array of remarkable, memorable, curious and often unexpected things: inventions that offer intimate and sweeping lessons about the complex world economy we live in today. From the brick, blockchain and bicycle to fire, the factory and fundraising, and from solar PV and the pencil to the postage stamp, this collection informs, fascinates and stimulates. It combines insight and inspiration in a wide-ranging exploration by one of Britain’s non-fiction storytellers.
