Naomi Klein, author of This Changes Everything

“Stanford is that rare breed: the teacher who changed your life. He has written a book — both pragmatic and idealistic — with the power to change the world.”

Frank Stilwell, Professor Emeritus of Political Economy, University of Sydney, Australia

“Economics for Everyone is quite simply the best critical introduction to economics you can find.”

Robert Pollin, Distinguished Professor of Economics and Co-Director of the Political Economy Research Institute (PERI), University of Massachusetts-Amherst, U.S.A.

“Do you want to really understand economics and the workings of the capitalist system? Who the system benefits, who it crushes, and how it all happens? Jim Stanford lays everything out in Economics for Everyone. This book is clear, compelling, lively, and anger-provoking, all at once.”

Steve Keen, Professor and Head, School of Economics, Politics & History, Kingston University, London, U.K

“If you’re not an engineer, you can go about your day not knowing about engineering because you can trust engineers to know what they’re talking about. By and large, failures of engineering are extremely rare events, affecting very few people. But you can’t afford not to know about economics, because economic failures are frequent, and affect us all. Jim Stanford explains what’s worth trusting in economics and what’s not in an accessible way that starts from and respects your own knowledge. Read this book.”
