About

Some questions you never think to ask. Others, you didn’t know you didn’t know. And some facts are so surprising they cry out for answers.

What can a president actually do? Why do cities sink into the ground? Why is Australia seemingly invulnerable to recessions? Why do people in couples do more house-work than singletons? The brilliant minds of the Economist collect these questions. Individually they might seem bite-sized and inconsequential, but taken together they can reveal a whole new world.

“Books like this make you wary of ever guessing the answer to anything.” — The Daily Mail
