Quase todo mundo gosta de comida, mas não necessariamente de economia — que é, para muitos, seca, difícil e técnica demais. Ha-Joon Chang prova o contrário. Reconhecido mundialmente por traduzir conceitos econômicos para o público leigo, o autor do best-seller 23 coisas que não nos contaram sobre o capitalismo e de Economia: modo de usar agora recorre à história dos alimentos para explicar as teorias, as bases e o desenvolvimento do mercado.

For decades, a single, free-market philosophy has dominated global economics. But this intellectual monoculture is bland and unhealthy. Bestselling author and economist Ha-Joon Chang makes challenging economic ideas delicious by plating them alongside stories about food from around the world, using the diverse histories behind familiar food items to explore economic theory.

What is economics? How does the global economy work? What do different economic theories tell us about the world? Ha-Joon Chang explains how the global economy works and why anyone can understand the dismal science. Unlike many economists who claim there is only one way of 'doing economics', he introduces listeners to a wide range of economic theories, from classical to Keynesian, revealing how they all have their strengths, weaknesses and blind spots.

For decades, a single free market philosophy has dominated global economics. But this is bland and unhealthy—like British food in the 1980s, when best-selling author and economist Ha-Joon Chang first arrived in the UK from South Korea. Just as eating a wide range of cuisines contributes to a more interesting and balanced diet, so, too, is it essential we listen to a variety of economic perspectives. In Edible Economics, Chang makes challenging economic ideas more palatable by plating them alongside stories about food from around the world.
