This “shortest economics textbook ever” genuinely tells you the most important bit about economics

Samariterstrasse over on Reddit has posted “The shortest economics textbook ever.”

• “Macroeconomists have successfully predicted nine of the last five recessions”, says cmd_iii
• ‘I am an economist! It’s kind of fun because people have absolutely no idea what I do. I once told close friends that we use lab rats for random sampling methods and they were like “Oh neat!”‘, says dee_berg
• “But it still cost £250 at the university bookstore”, says grand_royal

The author Ha-Joon Chang also did an hour long talk on this subject which is definitely worth a look, but you know, not a short Poke lol. Something to watch on the bog whilst your skiving from work.
