Strávili jsme spolu tolik hodin, že už si i tykáme.

[Owen Culleton · Rating 5 out of 5]

Easy to understand and interesting anecdotes

[Deniss Ojastu · Rating 5 out of 5]

A very good book explaining building principles of macroeconomics, focusing on connections and relevant examples rather than dry definitions. Very well-written chapters on command vs. market economies, unemployment, monetary policy choices, the economics of oil, economic benefits and problems with the European Union, the economics of environment.
