The Economics of Life: A Guide to Personal Economics and Happiness
About this audiobook
Here is a simple book, a simple guide, primarily addressed to simple folks – non-economists.
The book is also addressed to professional economists, economic advisors to governments and the economic science academics and researchers.
The author firmly believes that economics ought to be a personal science, not just a theoretical science, urging the economists to integrate their economic science and public policy with the personal economics pursued by the non-economists. At the same time, he urges the non-economist community to understand the economic essentials and develop our own economics. The goal is to live a happy life, no matter what our economic condition is. We ought not to permit professional economics at the macro level and money to dominate our personal lives, our goals, and our economic wellbeing.
The book is a guide to developing personal economics for personal lives, where we do not suffer from lack of understanding of money-driven economics and be able to take personal economic decisions for individual happiness, at any stage in life. The book will give everyone a framework to develop their own economics and derive happiness by taking the right economic decisions not dictated by money alone or by governments and regulators and public policy makers.
Happy journey through the economic prison to economic freedom. And economic wellbeing.
About the author
D. C. Anjaria has been a student of economics at the undergraduate level studying Commerce, at the post graduate level studying Business Administration, and then working as an international banker and financial markets professional.
At each stage, he has seen the value of economics as a social science, and its limitations at the personal level. His work with a leading American bank – Citibank, brought him in contact with diverse geographic and cultural milieus, in India, Mauritius, West Africa, Middle East, and Europe. He has seen people with diverse attitudes towards money, and people with both successful management of their economic lives and those who suffered from lack of understanding of money and economics.
In the end, the author managed to understand and shape his own economic life using his global exposure. He has also understood how the professional economists and governments develop their economic policies, while advising governments in India and Indonesia in public policy and regulatory structures for money driven economies.
Using this lifelong experience, he has developed an understanding of personal economics as opposed to practice of economics at the macro-economy level. He now has crystallized and shared his ‘economic wisdom’ for the benefit of the non-economist human beings, through this book as the distillation of the economic wisdom.
The author passionately believes that economics ought to be a personal science, not just a theoretical science, that we the non-economist community must understand the economic essentials, but at the same time, should also develop our own personal economics, the goal being to live a happy life no matter what our economic condition is. We ought not to permit professional economics at the macro level and money to dominate our personal lives, goals, and happiness. It is a guide to developing personal economics for personal lives. We ought not to suffer from the lack of an understanding of money-driven economics and not knowing how to take personal economic decisions to be happy.
The author is one of you – the non-economist who pursues his own economics, who hopes that all of you benefit from his economic wisdom, take the right decisions to be happy with your lives at whichever stage in life you are. The book will give you a framework to develop your own economics, take the right decisions, and does not dictate any particular decisions.
You are invited to share your own economics and review The Economics of Life with D. C. Anjaria.
