David Smith 
Free Lunch 
Easily Digestible Economics

’Free of jargon, obfuscation and interminable subordinate clauses, his prose is just the job’ The Times
A fully updated and revised edition of the classic guide.
The economy has never been so relevant to so many people as it is now. ’There’s no such thing as a free lunch’ is the one phrase everyone has heard from economics. But why not? What does economics tell us about the price of lunch – and everything else?
Set out like a good lunchtime conversation, Free Lunch will escort you through the mysteries of the economy. Your guides will be some of the greatest names in the field, including Smith, Marx and Keynes. This clever and witty introduction to economics is essential reading in these times of economic uncertainty, and far more satisfying than even the most gourmet banquet.
