The Origin Of Wealth

Synopsis

What is wealth? How is it created? How can we create more of it for the benefit of individuals, businesses, and society? These are the fundamental questions that economic thinker and writer Eric Beinhocker asks in his groundbreaking book. According to Beinhocker, the field of economics is in the midst of a revolution that promises to overthrow a century of conventional theory and profoundly change our thinking about how the economy works, with major implications for business, finance, and public policy.
