But this is bland and unhealthy - like British food in the 1980 s, when bestselling author and economist Ha-Joon Chang first arrived in the UK from South Korea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJust as eating a wide range of cuisines contributes to a more interesting and balanced diet, so too is it essential we listen to a variety of economic perspectives. In Edible Economics, Chang makes challenging economic ideas more palatable by plating them alongside stories about food from around the world. He uses histories behind familiar food items - where they come from, how they are cooked and consumed, what they mean to different cultures - to explore economic theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDelivery \u0026amp; pickup:\u003c\/strong\u003e Available from Whimsy and Wonder with New Zealand delivery or Christchurch pickup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43891425771556,"sku":"B9780241585658","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0771\/2253\/5460\/files\/penguin-random-house-edible-economics-book.jpg?v=1785751638","url":"https:\/\/whimsyandwonder.co.nz\/products\/edible-economics","provider":"Whimsy \u0026 Wonder","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
