Amidst recent talk of a possible ‘double-dip recession’, disparaging headlines such as this from today’s BBC News are far from unusual: ‘Shares fall across Europe as confidences drops’.

Perhaps this is part of the reason why David Orrell’s Economyths currently ranks at #1 in the Economics category of Amazon’s Kindle Store.

Economyths proposes that among the many casualties of the recession has been the credibility of economics, which for decades has claimed that the economy is a rational, stable, efficient machine, governed by well-understood laws.

Mathematician David Orrell explains why financial crashes are less Black Swans than part of the landscape, and how  new ideas in mathematics, psychology, and environmentalism are helping to reinvent economics.

Economyths is available as an ebook and in paperback form.

You can buy it for just 99p on Amazon’s Kindle Store at the moment!
