{"id":11726,"count":12,"description":"Driving around the outskirts of almost any city for the first time and spotting yet another IKEA, or walking down its main shopping street and spotting another H&M, you might wonder if every economy in the world is going to end up looking exactly the same. But these apparent similarities also mask big differences in the way economies in different countries are set up. This section of our site aims to look at some of the world\u2019s different economies and some of the economic challenges individual countries are facing.\r\n\r\nLarry Summers recommends his best books on globalisation<\/a> and Jennifer M Harris her best books on geoeconomics<\/a>.\u00a0 Kaushik Basu recommends his best books for understanding the Indian economy<\/a> and Victor Shih does the same for the Chinese economy<\/a>.\u00a0 The Ghanaian economist, Ayittey discusses the challenges of African development<\/a> and Barry Eichengreen choses his best books on the Euro<\/a>.\u00a0 Jonathan Portes looks at Brexit<\/a>.\r\n\r\nWe still have some way to go, but if you\u2019re an economist from a country whose economy hasn\u2019t been covered yet, please write to us: editor@fivebooks.com. And if you could make\u00a0a reader list<\/a>\u00a0for us, explaining which books to read and why they\u2019re important that would be even better!","link":"https:\/\/fivebooks.com\/category\/economics\/world-economies\/","name":"World Economies","slug":"world-economies","taxonomy":"category","parent":5306,"meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fivebooks.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/11726","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fivebooks.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fivebooks.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/category"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fivebooks.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/5306"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/fivebooks.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?categories=11726"},{"href":"https:\/\/fivebooks.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/book?categories=11726"},{"href":"https:\/\/fivebooks.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/books_like_this?categories=11726"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
