The Best Book On The Market

An accessible and entertaining look at the engine of the market economic system The Best Book on the Market uses real-world examples to explain supply and demand and the way prices are determined in basic markets. It explains how the market economic system relies on healthy competition and how the meddling in the markets of businesspeople and politicians damages the natural balance and fairness of markets. Ideal for general readers who want a deeper and better understanding of market economics, this straightforward guide addresses a wealth of important questions: why some people make more than others; whether black markets are immoral; questions of inequalities; and social issues like sweatshops and fair trade. Eamonn Butler (London, UK) is Director of the Adam Smith Institute, a think tank on market economic policy.
