[books]: The Invisible Heart - an economic romance
I don't know how to write a book review but I really want to recommend this to U. It is a well-written love story that also teaches an impressive amount of good economics.
You may say it is a love fiction about an English Literature teacher and an Economics teacher, but it's more than that. It makes you think, to think about what governs this world, a world of materialism, authorities, self-interest......Ironically, self-interest governs itself, that's invisible effect. May be it is a bit too defensive in capitalism, but it surprised me that Economics is a kind of philosophy that applies to how we live and behave.
"Economics is a way of looking at the world. It constantly reminds us that there is no free lunch. Every road taken means a road left unexplored. That can lead to regret. But choices is good. I am grateful to live in a world without free lunches. A world without consequences and costs is a world without meaningful choice. A life without responsibility is not the life of the adult - it's the life of the animal, the child, or the robot."
If you think Economics is just about "Supply and Demand", you should try to pick this.
