This is a very readable book on basic economics (no charts or graphs!). The chapters address topics such as the power of markets, incentives, the government, the economics of information, productivity, the power of organized interests, the federal reserve, trade, globalization, & developing nations striving to overcome extreme poverty. As someone who took Economics 101 about a dozen years ago, it was an easy way to bring back some of those concepts (especially relevant during an election year).
