This fascinating book introduces travelers—of the body or the
mind—to a few simple economic concepts that will help them to
think differently and more deeply about the differences between the
people and the places they visit during their journeys. The
principles and mechanics of economics are firmly rooted in
everything around us, in our home country as well as in every
nation and culture around the world. Having a basic grasp of
economics can help all travelers to think more carefully about why
things work differently in different places. Armed with this
knowledge, readers will be equipped to better appreciate—and
learn from—the beauty and complexity of the world around us. The
Traveling Economist: Using Economics to Think about What Makes Us
All So Different and the Same illustrates important economic
concepts that every traveler and world citizen should understand.
Employing clear, jargon-free explanations and illustrated with
real-life examples, Knoop uniquely focuses on the interplay between
travel and economics. He uses our shared travel experiences to
illustrate exactly how economic thinking supplies such a powerful
framework for understanding the world around us. More than simply
explaining economics through travel experiences, this book enables
adventurers who desperately want to avoid being tourists—i.e.,
people who travel to see what they know is there—to become
explorers: those who learn each and every day from what they
witness.
