Odhalená ekonomie – Wheelan Charles (2017)

The Uncovered Economy is probably the first book on this topic in years that won't make a layperson yawn by the third page. Charles Wheelan explains not always simple economic phenomena and principles in a readable and understandable way. We will learn why even well-intentioned interventions in favor of the underprivileged can cause more harm than good. The role of government, regulators, and the central bank will become clearer, as will the mysterious concept of 'quantitative easing.' The book provides insights into the value of information and human capital and its relationship to productivity. We will better understand taxes and how the economy and politics influence each other. Many previously puzzling terms will become clearer to us. We will unobtrusively familiarize ourselves with the contributions of recent Nobel laureates in economics and what they deserved their prizes for. The author successfully avoids economic prejudices and clichés. It's a witty, interesting read, and a very good investment, which is certainly a meaningful part of the world of economics.
