From the inability of wealth to make us happier, to our catastrophic blindness to the credit crunch, this book reveals ten ways in which economics has failed us. It explains how the economy is the result of complex and unpredictable processes; how risk models go astray; and, why the economy is not rational or fair.
David Orrell is an applied mathematician and popular science writer. He is also the author of Introducing Economics - A Graphic Guide (Icon, 2011)
