What is this book about? Virat Kohli earns four times what Rohit Sharma does. How is that justified if Kohli isn't four times better? Congo, Nigeria and Venezuela have some of the biggest reserves of oil, diamonds and cobalt. Why are they among the poorest countries on earth? Why does the government of India run hotels and sell condoms while five crore cases rot in our courts? In this disarming and playful guide, the authors strip economics down to its essence. Zero jargon and (almost!) no graphs, and by the end, you'll never read the news the same way again.
