So, I had high hopes for this book. And it did okay. But it was wordy and got boring towards the middle, so I ended up just skipping the whole "why" and jumping to straight to the crunchpoints at then end of every question that summed up the answer in a concise two-to-three sentence blurb.

I found the most interesting segment to be on healthcare. Finally, I understand what the problem is. Though there wasn't a lot of solutions offered, at least I can filter through my brain what the issues are and try to sort it out that way. It made perfect sense and I'm glad that I read the book, if only for that part.

I do wish that economists would leave the personal politics behind and focus on the issues. Both sides of the ticket have a lot of things wrong, and your economics book is not the place to root for one side or the other. You should present everything with an unbias view supported by facts.

I tried to read this is about 2 days flat, and I think it became a little overwhelming. Perhaps I would've enjoyed it more had I been reading a novel along side it to break up the content a little.
