Fifty Inventions That Shaped the Modern Economy paints an epic picture of change in an intimate way by telling the stories of the tools, people, and ideas that had far-reaching consequences for all of us. From the plough to artificial intelligence, from Gillette's disposable razor to IKEA's Billy bookcase, best-selling author and Financial Times columnist Tim Harford recounts each invention's own curious, surprising, and memorable story.

Amazing Book
Revisado: 06-29-18
This book is as great as Freakonomics, and possibly better. Tim Harford is one of the best writers and economists of our age and we're lucky to have his books to read. I was always fascinated by the inventions he discussed and I felt as though I finally appreciated so many aspects of our modern life that I had always seen, but never quite understood. Tim Harford unveils the fascinating economics and technological forces behind music, farming, the internet, and so much more. I highly recommend the book to anyone who is interested in freakonomics-type stuff. Also the narration was very good too. I always got excited to get back to listening to the book.
