Economics for Beginners

In social life, economic activities take place every day, but not everyone can reasonably weigh and measure their spending, have flexible thinking when buying and selling, or make investment decisions that benefit individuals and families.

Economics books for beginners provide readers with basic and accessible knowledge.

Some economic books for general readers.

“If you were given £20 for your birthday, how would you decide what to spend it on?”, or “if you had exactly five minutes to get to the opening ceremony of a conference that was crucial to your career and you were struggling to find a parking space,” what would you choose, “should you accept a parking fine and get to the conference on time, or continue searching for a parking space and arrive late?” These are just two examples of countless situations that are actually economic problems that each of us must solve every day. Author of “A Brief History of Economics” (World Publishing House) Niall Kishtainy said: “The word economics may sound a bit dry and make you think of a bunch of boring statistics. But it is really just about how to help people survive, be healthy and beeducated . It is about how people get what they need to live full and happy lives – and why some people don’t get those things. If we can solve basic economic questions, maybe we can help people live better lives.” Recognizing the importance of basic economic understanding for everyone, author Niall Kishtainy brings readers engaging and easy-to-understand explanations of key economic forms, theories, issues and laws with vivid and close illustrations.

According to experts, the word “economic” is derived from the Greek word “oeconomicus”, in which “oikos” is house and “nomos” is law or rule. Therefore, for the Greeks, economics initially discussed how households managed their resources, while today, economics also includes the study of companies and industries. The book duo “Economics - A Brief Overview of Great Ideas” and “Business - A Brief Overview of Great Ideas” compiled by DK Publishing House, translated by Dong A and Dan Tri Publishing House, is written in a simple style, with short, concise explanations of important economic theories to help readers access core knowledge about economics, business and the world market. What happens during an economic crisis? How does money work? Why do we have to pay taxes? What is a fair price?... - these questions are answered in this book series with easy-to-understand charts, memorable classic quotes, and humorous illustrations to bring excitement to readers. The series helps readers realize that economics affects every aspect of daily life, from going to work to how to spend money and the big economic ideas that continue to shape the world today.

Economics is not a lofty, distant field reserved only for economists, politicians or businessmen, but economic activities are present in every big and small decision of each person in life. Each individual, if he or she understands something about economics, will see his or her position in the general picture and where the big waves are pushing him or her. That is the message in the book "Economics in Hard Times" (Tre Publishing House) by two authors Abhijit V. Banerjee and Esther Duflo. The book presents the latest economic research to suggest solutions to important economic issues such as immigration, trade, growth, inequality, environment, in many countries around the world through the articles: "From the shark's jaw", "The pain of trade", "Preferences, desires, and needs", "The end of growth?", "In the midst of boiling water and fire", "Giving money and taking care"...

Abhijit V. Banerjee is also the author of the famous book “Understanding Poverty and Escaping Poverty” (Tre Publishing House). This book has rich content, born from a deep understanding of the economic life of the poor. Each chapter of the book addresses each prominent issue, starting from essential aspects of family life: Why do poor people buy televisions instead of food when they have more money? What do they do to solve the problem of their children's education, their own health and that of their family members? Is having children the real reason why families become poor?... Then the book analyzes how the market and institutions affect the poor. With a scientific, coherent and simple writing style, the book gives readers a clearer and more scientific view of poverty and escaping poverty. Most importantly, the book sheds light on why we need to hope and keep learning, why we need to keep trying when challenges seem overwhelming, and why success is not always as far away as we think.

Delving into the life and work of famous economists such as Adam Smith, John Maynard Keynes, Amartya Sen, Karl Marx, Friedrich Hayek... the book "Thinking Like an Economist" (The World Publishing House) written by Robbie Mochrie leads readers to learn about the origin, development of important economic theories and the influence of economics in the modern world of which we are a part. The book is suitable for general readers who want to start learning or expand their knowledge of economics.
