The Little Book Of Economics: How The Economy Works In The Real World

One positive side-effect of the recent financial market meltdown that toppled giant, century-old institutions and cost millions their jobs is that it created a strong desire among many Americans to better understand how the U.S. economy functions. In The Little Book of Economics , Greg Ip, one of the country’s most recognized and respected economics journalists, walks readers through how the economy really works. Written for the inquisitive layman who doesn’t want to plow through academic jargon and Greek letters or pore over charts and tables, The Little Book of Economics offers indispensable insight into how the American economy works – or, doesn’t. With engaging and accessible prose, the book is a must-read for anyone who wants a better grasp of the economy without taking a course in economics.
