Should be read by everyone planning to vote in the next election.

A lot of information, I'm really going to have to reread it again. I did go back to reread parts already. Pretty engaging and keeps up a good pace. Really wish they'd gone over most of this in high school, feel like this ought to be a mandatory read.

Oh, quick addition-get a hardcover or e-book if you can, the paperback isn't very well bound.

A wonderful primer on economics and political economics. Well worth reading, especially in light of our current economic situation.

Intéressant, mais réformiste.

Great intro to econimics

This should be REQUIRED READING for everyone! I don't think I have ever actually learned so much from a book. I learned so much!

Bản dịch tiếng Việt của Phan Linh Lan rất tệ.

Điểm cộng của sách là hình minh họa rất thú vị. Nội dung tàm tạm thôi, chủ yếu xoay quanh nền kinh tế Mỹ vốn xa lạ với nhiều người Việt. Các khái niệm đề cập trong sách rất hời hợt; người đọc phải có kiến thức nền vững mới cảm nhận được.

A very good, easy to understand, foundation on how the financial and economical world works - and how it has evolved from the XVII century until 2012. Also very good in terms of an historical perspective, as it details many major economical events in world history and gives context on why they happened the way they did.
A good read for who wants to have a first contact with the topic of economy.
