On the Money: The Economy in Cartoons, 1925-2009

by The New Yorker, Malcolm Gladwell (Introduction)

The New Yorker has been at the forefront of social commentary since it was first published in 1925. Even when the markets have been down, its famous single-panel cartoons have found a way to add humor to the economic landscape.

In On the Money , fans can revel in over 350 of The New Yorker 's best cartoons on the theme of money, culled from the past 80+ years. From bossy businessmen to crooked creditors to slighted stockholders, no one in the financial world has escaped humorously critical jabs from the master of cartoon humor. The collection is edited by The New Yorker 's cartoon editor, Robert Mankoff, and includes an introduction by the best-selling author Malcolm Gladwell.

Reviews

[Sivaram Velauthapillai · Rating 5 out of 5]

Collection of cartoons relating to business, economics, and the stock market, that have graced the pages of The New Yorker magazine. This is an interesting collection since the cartoons cover all the way back to 1925, and hence provides a historical look at how things were in the past. Interestingly, human behaviour hasn't changed much and some of the cartoons from 75 years ago apply just as much today.

Um livro de charges que acaba retratando os ciclos econômicos numa revista que não tem a economia como assunto principal. Algumas são sensacionais outras não fizeram sentido pra mim por não conseguir contextualiza-las. E a referência à usura, ganância e a presença de um IR feroz em determinados períodos foi marcante pra mim.
