About this product

About this product

Product Information

A provocative...persuasive ( The New York Times ) book that examines countries' ecomic destinies. In False Ecomy, Alan Beattie weaves together the ecomic choices, political choices, ecomic history, and human stories, that determine whether governments and countries remain rich or poor. He also addresses larger questions about why they make the choices they do, and what those mean for the future of our global ecomy. But despite the heady subject matter, False Ecomy is a lively and lucid book that engagingly and thought-provokingly examines macroecomics, ecomic topics, and the fault lines and successes that can make or break a culture or induce a global depression. Along the way, readers will discover why Africa doesn't grow cocaine, why our asparagus comes from Peru, why our keyboard spells QWERTY, and why giant pandas are living on borrowed time.
