Andoni Arroyo
Author of Everything Has a Price
Andoni Arroyo is a software engineer. He spends his days building technology that works without anyone seeing it, and he writes to do the opposite: take something the reader already has in front of them (a coin, a price tag, a mortgage) and take it apart until it makes sense.
Everything Has a Price is his five-book series on economics, from the origins of money to the twenty-first century. It is written for readers who want to understand the economy they live in, not to pass an exam: every idea is told through where it came from and what it meant for the people who lived through it.
His books start from a simple idea: understanding how the world works should not be a privilege of experts.
