Audiobook Title:
Applied Economics: Thinking Beyond Stage One (Unabridged)
By: Thomas Sowell

He begins by elucidating the differences between politicians, who are often compelled by political considerations to act for the short term, and economists, who are more concerned with long-term ramifications. Sowell then focuses on the application of economics to major contemporary real-world problems: housing, medical care, discrimination, and the economic development of nations.
