About this listen
From the emergence of agriculture to the war in Ukraine, Andrew Leigh weaves a fascinating narrative punctuated by expert insights into major moments in human history – why the invention of the plough led to gender inequality, how certain diseases determined the patterns of colonialism, and even how New York’s robber barons inspired the board game Monopoly.
Always accessible, expertly written and highly illuminating, The Shortest History of Economics is a perfect introduction to the subject.
Spoiled by a slightly robotic narration and somewhat biased angle on CV19, vaccines and climate change. Very difficult to listen for long periods.
The narrator’s voice - monotonous
