Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Discover the hidden logic that governs our world, from the price of bread to the future of digital currencies.What does a loaf of bread have to do with global finance? How do incentives shape our behavior more than we realize? Why do some nations grow rich while others stay poor? In The Logic of Economy, Theron Ashworth takes you on a compelling journey through the principles that shape our world, revealing the profound and often surprising logic behind everyday economic life.Written for the curious citizen rather than the academic specialist, this book demystifies the economic forces that influence everything from the cost of your morning coffee to the stability of the global financial system. Ashworth weaves together history, psychology, and economics to explain the systems that drive human cooperation and prosperity.This is not a dry textbook full of graphs and equations. It is an accessible and engaging exploration of the fundamental ideas that form the bedrock of our world, told through the stories of bakers and bankers, farmers and financiers, consumers and creators.Inside this comprehensive work, you'll discover: The Foundations of Economics: From the first exchange to the logic of scarcity, and how the division of labor creates wealth.How Markets Work: Understand the power of prices, the "invisible hand," and why markets succeed-and occasionally fail.The Art of Incentives: Learn how policies from the "Cobra Effect" to principal-agent problems shape human behavior.The Role of Government: Explore how taxation, regulation, and the welfare state function in a mixed economy.Big Economic Issues: Delve into monetary policy, globalization, inequality, and the future of capitalism.Contemporary Challenges: Get a clear and insightful analysis of the digital marketplace, artificial intelligence, cryptocurrency, climate change, and the currency of trust.The Logic of Economy addresses the questions that matter most: How do prices tell stories and coordinate the actions of millions?What is the true nature of money, and why is trust its most valuable ingredient?Can markets solve the problem of climate change?Why are some nations wealthy while others are not?What are the ethical limits of the market?This book is your invitation to join the conversation. Whether you are a student, a professional, or simply a citizen who wants to understand the world, this book will change how you see the economic forces that shape your life.The economy is too important to be left to economists. Your journey to understanding it starts here. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
