Development Roast Giving international development a proper roasting
This month, for our Monday graphics series, Development Roast has teamed up with FSG Books and University of Washington Professor of Economics, the world’s first and only stand-up economist, Yoram Bauman to bring you a sneak peek into the second volume of his book The Cartoon Introduction to Economics. Learning should be fun, so for five weeks during October, to coincide with INESAD’s Fun Economics Month, Development Roast will share one of the fascinating and fun cartoons from Volume Two: Macroeconomics. Today’s cartoon asks: What’s more important, short- or long-term growth and stability?
The Cartoon Introduction to Economics: Volume Two: Macroeconomics (p.10)
After discussing the first goal of macroeconomics, which is to increase living standards in the long run, the reader is introduced to its second aim: understanding booms and busts.
