Why I looked at this book
Many governments are implementing a policy of austerity at present, but there is a lot of criticism of this. For a household it may sometimes be best to reduce expenditure, but but big systems such as the economy may follow different rules - it may be better to spend to stimulate the economy. Also I understand that working in a big city pays better than in a small town. Why should this be. Is there something more efficient about a big city, or is it that its not so good so wages have to be higher to compensate. I'm hoping that this book will look into questions such as these.
