The increasing complexity of modern economics leaves many theorists and practitioners alike scrambling to explain—often unsuccessfully—globalization's latest twists. Andrew Vonnegut’s Inside the Global Economy is a healthy antidote to this confusion. Billed as 'a practical guide,' the book offers straightforward analysis of contemporary economic phenomena. In a world where instability has become the norm and Black Swans hover like vultures, his combination of theory and practice will resonate with serious students of the subject, whether they be in the classroom or boardroom.
