Keynesian Economics, Free Market Capitalism, Monetarism, Game Theory and the Invisible Hand. Sure, you know what they mean. That is, you've certainly heard of them. But do you know enough about these economic theories to join a dinner party debate or dazzle the bar with your financial knowledge? 30 Second Economics takes the top 50 economic theories, and explains them to the general reader in half a minute, using nothing more than two pages, 300 words and one picture. Economics will suddenly seem a lot more fun than the economy, and make a lot more sense, and along the way you'll meet founding fathers of modern economics such as Adam Smith, David Ricardo and Alfred Marshall. From Marxism to Mercantilism, plus everything in between, this is the ultimate 'crash' course in economic theory.

Abolish the monarchy
£16.99Abolish the monarchy
It’s wrong in principle and it doesn’t work in practice. (And no, it’s not good for tourism.) But it doesn’t have to be this way. They say Britain should be proud to have the mother of parliaments, a shining beacon of democracy and an example to other nations. But there’s an elephant in the room. At the heart of power is a single family. They weren’t elected but they live off the public purse. They aren’t accountable to anyone, and yet between them they are privy to more government secrets than many cabinet ministers. Apparently he is guardian of our constitution – but we’re also told he wouldn’t dream of interfering in politics. If you accept the monarchy, you must accept the moral compromise that comes with it, from its erosion of the principle of equality to the secret interference in our laws. But the good news is that we don’t have to accept it. True democracy is within our reach.
