Will Robots take our Jobs?

Why do diamonds cost more than water despite being a lot less useful? Why can’t economists predict recessions, even though they think of themselves as scientists? If AI is taking over, what does that really mean for lawyers, accountants, and teachers? This book explores what economics is really about: the hidden logic behind everyday behaviour, the surprising consequences of policy choices, and the deep misunderstandings that shape our view of markets and society. Rather than offering all the answers, it invites readers to question familiar assumptions and discover how economics can illuminate — and complicate — the world around us.
