Akateeminen & WTC Turku Book Club

The Akateeminen & WTC Turku Book Club is there for you to network, learn and get the extra advantage in growing your business, professional expertise and knowledge.

We read classic business books, new releases on economics and various publications on professional and personal development. We’ll meet live every few months at the Akateeminen store in Turku (Yliopistonkatu 27, 20100 Turku) to share our opinions and insights on the most recent book.

At the October meeting we’ll be reading How Economics can Change the World by Erik Angner. The book is available to purchase at the Akateeminen store!

What the book’s about?

Our world is in a mess. The challenges of climate change, inequality and hunger mean our way of life seems more imperilled and society more divided than ever. But economics can help! From parenting to organ donation, housing to anti-social behaviour, economics provides the tools we need to fix the biggest issues of today. Far more than a means to predict the stock market, 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.

With a healthy dose of optimism, and packed with stories of economics in everyday situations, Erik Angner demonstrates the methods he and his fellow economists use to help improve the lives of people and the society in which they live. He shows us that economics can be a powerful force for good, awakening the possibility of a happier, more just and more sustainable world.
