Economics for Everyone

The CCPA is pleased to announce the publication of Economics for Everyone: A Short Guide to the Economics of Capitalism by Jim Stanford. Economics for Everyone is concise and readable, providing non-specialist readers with all the information they need to understand how capitalism works (and how it doesn't). The book is illustrated with cartoons and flow charts by renowned political cartoonist Tony Biddle. Most important, Economics for Everyone is backed by a comprehensive set of web-based instructional materials — including a course outline, lecture notes, student exercises, and a glossary, all available for free on the web at http://www.economicsforeveryone.ca/. This book can thus be part of a broader, ready-made popular economics course for unionists, activists, and just plain regular concerned individuals.Economics for Everyone will be released on June 12, 2008. Copies are available from the CCPA for $24.95 each (plus GST and shipping). Discounts are available for bulk orders.
