Synopsis

Want to know how capitalism works so well yet why we have unemployment, where profits come from, and what the Fed is? This is a popular book on economics and capitalism. It uses only simple words and examples - no charts or formulas. It is pro-market while also admitting problems such as with health care and poverty. Unlike similar books, it explains economic theory, explains ideologies, accepts social classes, sees a role for morality, and sometimes uses biological ideas about human nature. It prepares you to understand modern issues, read further, and take a course.

Emanuel Polioudakis prefers the nickname "Mike". I have a wife, Nitaya, but no children. I am an anthropologist. I was born and raised in Oregon, lived all over the United States, and lived eight years in Thailand. I worked with Thai Buddhist farmers, Muslim fishers, shrimp farmers, Thai business people, and American catfish farmers. I use modern biological theory and anthropology to understand social order, the environment, and poverty. I play music, like pop science, AI, some sports, and all kinds of art.
