Is your economics textbook a little dry? Are you interested in supplemental readings that highlight the relevance of economic principles? If yes, then you will want to participate in our Fall 2023 Book Club focused on How Economics Can Save the World: Simple Ideas to Solve Our Biggest Problems.

Book Club includes three self-paced Nearpod lessons and two optional Zoom events. Econiful members who complete all three modules over the course of 6.5 weeks will receive a $30 Amazon gift card.

THE BOOK

Economics has the power to make the world a better, happier and safer place: this book shows you how.


From parenting to organ donation, housing to anti-social behavior, economics provides the tools we need to fix the biggest issues of today. Far from being a means to predict the stock market or enrich the elite, economics provides a lens through which we can better understand how things work, design clever solutions and create the conditions in which we can all flourish.
