Economics. Easily explained.

Because everyone should understand the economics of everyday decisions. Because everyone should speak the language of economics.

At a time when Uzbekistan is carrying out large-scale economic reforms, this is a really relevant book. It explains economic principles in a simple way so that everyone can understand real events quickly and easily.

As a former career coach and human resources lecturer, I can recommend this book to anyone who has doubts about their professional development plan and ambitions: it’s fun to read, and easy to apply in practice!

The Armenian translation of "Common Sense Economics" is a very welcome addition to the rather sparse Armenian-language economics literature. Its very accessible language fills a gap of well reasoned and rigorous coverage of topics.
