Secure TransactionBook Description
An ingeniously conceived tour of the global economy and all its key components, illuminated one by one in 99 large-scale, full-color infographics
The economy is a complex, world-spanning, layer-upon-layer-upon-layer behemoth: One could argue that almost every aspect of our lives is connected to the realms of business and finance. And yet few of us truly understand it--even the world's foremost economists can't seem to agree on how it runs.
The Global Economy as You've Never Seen It presents 99 brilliant infographics that everyone can understand. From start-ups to monopolies, from trade agreements to theory, author Thomas Ramge and infographic specialist Jan Schwochow bring every facet of the economic web to life.
Economics connects us all, from what we buy, to how we buy it, who made it, and where. See the economy differently--and the world.
Author Bio
I am a non-fiction book author, keynote speaker and moderator of public events.
My journalistic and academic work at brand eins, The Economist and Weizenbaum Institute connects the dots between technology, its impact on business, work and its overall consequences for society and policy-making.
My books and texts have been honored with several awards, including the Axiom Business Book Award 2019, the getAbstract International Book Award 2018, the Financial Times Business Book Award, the Herbert Quandt Media Award, the ADC Award and the Best of Corporate Publishing Award.
Over the past 15 years, I have written more than a dozen books, including the Spiegel bestseller The Flicks, the handbooks In Data We Trust and Smart Data and, together with Erik Spiekermann, a bestselling book on design thinking. In 2014 I published my first novel about the good life (and the bad life) in large corporations.
Reinventing Capitalism in the Age of Big Data, which I co-authored with Oxford professor Viktor Mayer-Schönberger, has been translated into 20 languages and has stimulated a worldwide debate on data monopolies.
My newest book in English, a short and comprehensive introduction to Artificial Intelligence, hit the shelves in 2019.
