A Practical Understanding of Economics
He aims to replace economic frustration with a practical understanding of our economy and empower us to identify and advocate for a better approach to the problems we face. Howard Yaruss breaks down our economic system in a straightforward, nonpartisan way, avoiding jargon, formulas, graphs, and other technical material so common in books on this subject. Instead, he uses accessible analogies, real-world observations, and entertaining anecdotes to create a comprehensive picture of our economy.
A book that provides the tools needed to understand our economy, determine which policies would work best, and champion those policies effectively, Understandable Economics could not be more timely-or more necessary.
HOWARD YARUSS is an economist, professor, attorney, businessman, and activist who has taught a variety of courses on economics and business and currently teaches at New York University. Prior to teaching, he served as Executive Vice President and General Counsel of Radian Group, one of the largest guarantors of debt in the world. Yaruss graduated from Brown University, studied at the London School of Economics, and earned a law degree from the University of Pennsylvania. He lives in Manhattan.
He is the author of Understandable Economics: Because Understanding Our Economy is Easier Than You Think and More Important Than You Know.
