추가 적립 안내

시시각각으로 한국경제나 세계의 경제는 변모를 거듭하고 있다. 그 변화 는 너무나 빠르기 때문에 그러한 변화에 적응하지 못해 시대적 안목을 잃어버린 자기만 뒤쳐지고 있는 것 같은 감각을 느낄 때도 있을 것이다. 그래도 너무 초조하게 생각해선 안 된다. 안심하시라. 왜냐하면, 경제의 큰 뿌리인 구조는 시대를 넘어서도 살아 이어지기 때문이다. 이 책은 경제학의 교과서와 같이 학술적인 엄밀성을 추구하지는 않는다. 그렇다고 해서 눈에 띄는 경제용어를 슬슬 대충 설명하자는 것도 아니다. 현실경제의 최전선으로부터의 시각에서 경제학의 체계와 실물경제, 정책적 토픽을 연계하면서 경제의 구조전체를 파악할 수 있도록 설명한 것이다. 이 책을 읽으면, 독자도 현재의 경제 및 사회를 이야기하기 위한 대충의 도구를 손에 넣게 될 것이다.
