Good review. I am not such an economic person. I understand it but it does not hold my interest. At all!
I can't even remember why I added it to my tbr. Now, I agreed with a lot of what he said, but the examples are really what made it work for me.
4 stars
This book looks at why things cost what they do. The author, mostly, does a decent job with examples to explain what he’s trying to explain, but much of the actual economics/finance discussion went over my head. He really tried to “dumb it down”, and it’s probably enough for some, but unfortunately, it wasn’t always enough for me. Again, though, his examples were good and made it easier for me to follow. But, economics is just not my interest, so I’m leaving it with an “ok” rating.
