ABC of Economics by Ezra Pound is a concise guide on economic principles and their impact on society. Pound critiques modern capitalism and advocates for economic reforms to promote social well-being. He emphasises the importance of understanding money’s role, the value of labour and the consequences of financial systems. The work blends economic theory with Pound’s unique perspectives, aiming to make complex ideas accessible and urging readers to rethink conventional economic practices.
