Extreme Economies: Survival, Failure, Future Lessons from the Worlds Limits Book Information:

a fresh perspective on the modern economy, extreme economies takes the reader off the beaten path, introducing people living at the worlds margins. From disaster zones and displaced societies to failed states and hidden rainforest communities, the lives of people who inhabit these little-known places tend to be ignored by economists and policy makers. Richard Davies argues that this is a mistake, and explains why the worlds overlooked extremes offer a glimpse of the forces that underlie human resilience, help markets to function and cause them to fail, and will come to shape our collective future. Whether trekking with Punjabi migrants through the lawless panamanian jungle or revealing the clever trick Syrians use to underpin trade in the worlds most entrepreneurial refugee camp, Richard Davies brings a storyteller eye to places where the economy has been destroyed, distorted, and even turbocharged. In adapting to circumstances that would be unimaginable to most of us, the people he encounters have become economic pioneers whose lives help us reflect on our own. At once intimate and analytical, extreme economies draws the lines between personal narratives and global Trends, shedding light on todays biggest economic questions and providing vital lessons for our turbulent future.
