Quick and Concise Economics(QC Economics): For Every Indian
Why does Virat Kohli earn four times Rohit Sharma's salary when no one could honestly argue he's four times the cricketer? And what about Congo, Nigeria, and Venezuela, nations sitting atop vast reserves of oil, diamonds, and cobalt, yet ranking among the world's most impoverished? Or the curious fact that the Indian government runs hotels and manufactures condoms while fifty million court cases gather dust in an overloaded legal system? These are the kinds of questions that make you stop mid-breakfast and stare at the wall. Akash Kumar's approachable guide takes economics, a subject that usually sends people fleeing for the door, and brings it right down to earth. There's no heavy jargon here, and mercifully few graphs. What you get instead is clear thinking applied to real, sometimes baffling situations. By the final page, something quietly shifts in how you process the news, a political announcement, a price hike, a government scheme. Suddenly it all looks a little different. It's the sort of book that feels almost too easy to read, right up until you realise how much it has actually taught you.
