A Great book that helps you to understand overview of Economics. The book takes about a week of your time to complete. I would say this would be an introductory book to Economics.

It's well-written, gives important concepts in Macro-economics and Micro-economics. My Favorite part was learning about important thinkers in Economics. I desire to compare Economy of Tamil Nadu, India with the West. I am fascinated by questions like, Why do villages do not hold better jobs? How is Wealth created?

Overall, highly recommended to anyone with cursory curiosity in questions about wealth.

This book is an excellent reference source for anyone interested in a wide spectrum of economic principles and history. This is not a book I would suggest reading through, but instead using it as a sort of glossary for economics. The content is dense, but thorough. The book is also full of color and graphics, which in some cases can be busy, but for the most part work to catch the readers' eyes. This would be great to have in a library of a financial literacy class -- probably from middle school up to high school. ( )

An introduction to economics for the general reader, this book sets the subject out chronologically so that you get a potted history of the discipline as well as a guide to its key concepts. Also, the choice of subjects ranges rather wider than many books of its type so you get coverage of relatively obscure but important concepts such as the Diamond-Dybvig model. This might result in coverage which is a little unsatisfying for the expert reader, but it isn't really directed at them. For the layman, this book will make you sound more knowledgeable than most others of its type. ( )
