30-Second Economics

The 50 most thought-provoking economic theories, each explained in half a minute

Donald Marron

In these times of financial crisis, the economic consensus of the past 15 years is dead. What seemed an esoteric discipline relevant only to bankers and academics is now important to all of us. 30-Second Economics takes the 50 most significant economic theories of the past 120 years, and challenges financial high-flyers to explain them to the general reader in half a minute, using no more than two pages, 300 words, and one picture. This is the ultimate "Crash" course in economic theory.
