Angebot und Nachfrage, Rezession und Inflation sind Begriffe, die täglich, insbesondere im Wirtschaftsteil der Tageszeitung auftauchen. Aber was verbirgt sich hinter diesen Begriffen? Und was versteht man unter Makroökomomie und Mikroökonomie? Welche Faktoren führen zu einer Inflation, warum gibt es Rezessionen und, last but noch least, warum lieben Ökonomen freie Märkte und Konkurrenz? Sean Masaki Flynn gibt die Antworten zu diesen Fragen und bringt damit dem Leser die Grundzüge der Wirtschaft näher.

Until Flynn’s neighbor in North Carolina offered him one, he had never considered whether he wanted a peacock. His family became the owners of not one but three charming yet fickle birds: Carl, Ethel, and Mr. Pickle. Here he chronicles their first year as peacock owners, from struggling to build a pen to assisting the local bird doctor in surgery to triumphantly watching a peahen lay her first egg. He also examines the history of peacocks, from their appearance in the Garden of Eden. And Flynn travels across the globe to learn more about the birds firsthand. His book offers surprising lessons about love, grief, fatherhood, and family. -- adapted from jacket.
