Short Introduction to the Book

The book “How Economics Explains the World: A History Through the Lens of Economics,” written by Andrew Leigh, is for anyone who wants to understand economics and the economic forces that have shaped our world. This book combines economic and historical insights, and its relevance to the contemporary world makes it a valuable and informative read. This small and new book actually tells a big story: the story of capitalism, how the market system spread in human societies, the story of the field of economics, and some of the key figures who shaped it.

This book also tells the story of how economic forces have shaped world history. Why did Europeans colonize Africa, and why didn’t the reverse happen? What caused countries to start creating barriers to trade and immigration in the 1930s? Why did the Allies win World War II? Why did inequality decrease in many developed countries in the 1950s and 1960s? How did the revival of property rights in China lead to an increase in the country’s economic growth in the 1980s? Why is climate change a major threat to our economies? You will find the answers to these questions in this informative book.
