Monty is a dog, not a financial genius, but economics still shapes
his everyday life. Over the course of seventeen walks, Dr Rebecca
Campbell chews over economic concepts and investigates how they
apply to our lives – people and mutts alike. There are no graphs,
no charts (Monty can’t read them) and definitely no calculus! How
to Teach Economics to Your Dog tackles the knotty question of what
economics actually is. Is it a mathematical science like physics?
Or a moral and philosophical investigation of how societies should
manage scarce resources? Along the way we meet some of the great
thinkers from Adam Smith to Thomas Piketty, and ponder questions
such as: What on earth does quantitative easing mean? And why are
some countries so much richer than others?
