They're just what I was looking for as my son had expressed an interest in learning about economics and I wanted a living book - thank you.<br /><br />I found this post especially interesting as I've just started reading 'The Year of Living Danishly', about a British couple who spend a year as ex-pats. The writer researches why Denmark consistently scores as one of the happiest countries in the world. She discovers that Denmark's economic policies allow workers to change jobs easily and their high level of taxation encourages people to work in jobs they enjoy rather than because they pay well. Food for thought.<br /><br />I've also been enjoying listening to The Great Courses - Economics by Professor Timothy Taylor which is available on Audible. It's been a great refresher for me for the economics I studied for A level at school, and has some interesting lectures on environmental issues and public goods (as referred to in this post of yours). I think my kids will find it useful too.<br /><br />Glad you're still blogging. :) Lucindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06165136384071830629noreply@blogger.com
