Since the onset of neoliberalism, economics has been designed to benefit the few. Any student who tackles the subject will tell you, the material is not easy. This book is recommended read for all. Unlike other economics texts, it does not hide behind jargon, graphs and assumptions.
The Survival Manual is well rounded. Since modern economics has become highly immoral, not by incident but deliberately, The Survival Manual demonstrates the consequences of this lacking moral perception.
War, poverty, environmental degradation and greed are driving humanity to extinction and neoclassical economics is facilitating this process. Reading economics with a moral view, like The Survival Manual does, is the first step to our survival.
