Economics is the study of how money moves around in a society. If you like money, it would be smart to understand it. For hundreds of years, guys who were interested in money came up with theories about it. Those theories have influenced history, caused wars and depressions, and continue to influence the decisions governments and businesses make. This book explains the historical theories, who came up with them, how they evolved, and how people continue to argue about them.

You may be too young to remember, but back in the 1980's Republicans campaigned relentlessly for a "balanced budget amendment" which would make it illegal for the government to go into debt. This was because the previous Democratic administration (Jimmy Carter) had run up an ungodly 30 billion dollar deficit in a year. Ronald Reagan was outraged. Now, the same Republicans who salute Mr Reagan run up that much deficit in a good month. Ron's arguments were so persuasive he won the national elections in a landslide. So what happened? Was Reagan wrong? Was he right and people have forgotten? Is someone misrepresenting the economy?

You can entertain an entire bar by arguing about such things, loudly and at length. But you'll influence more people if you can throw in terms like "macroeconomics" or "Adam Smith" or "The invisible hand."

This book will give you just that ammunition. You will be the hit of every political party!

Sure, economics is known as "the dismal science" for a good reason.
But this book is quick, light, funny and insightful. You'll be done with it before you know it. Then, no matter which side you take in an argument you'll sound a lot smarter.
