How Economics Explains the World by Andrew Leigh

This book’s full title is How Economics Explains the World: A Short History of Humanity. The start of this book is interesting in that he talks about how much effort we have to put in to get a source of artificial light going from wood fires to the electric light bulb.

Laurence B. Siegal at Advisor Perspectives has a great review of this book. Another good review is by Mourya Krishna on Medium.

A lot of the videos are really Podcasts, which I do not like. There is a podcast on The Next Big Idea Podcast. Andrew Leigh speaks his book of The Shortest History of Economics at The Sydney Institute. This is interesting where Gerard Henderson asks questions for Andrew Leigh to answer.

An index of the books I have reviewed are on my website at Books. I have three blogs. The first talks only about specific stocks and is called Investment Talk . The second one contains information on mostly investing and is called Investing Economics Mostly. My last blog is for my book reviews and it is called Non-Fiction Mostly. Follow me on Twitter.
