Edible Economics

The novel “Edible Economics: A Hungry Economist Explains the World” by Ha-Joon Chang is a unique work of literature that combines tales about food from around the globe with economic concepts. Chang investigates economic theory by examining the various histories of well-known foods.

The book offers a smorgasbord of audacious concepts regarding immigration, globalization, automation, austerity, and even why orange carrots are not necessary. It illustrates how knowing the economy is like knowing a recipe: if we have a basic understanding of it, we can modify and enhance it to better comprehend our reality.
