A must read book if you wants to know :
1. How supply, demand, inflation, prices, unemployment are interlinked in economy in very simple language.
2. How inflation & unemployment is inversely proportional & it it is not inversely proportional then recession.
3. Interesting story's behind coin, notes, bonds, stock exchanges etc.
4. What is repo rate, CCI, Fiscal Policy, Monetary Policy ?
5. Story's of famous economist starting from Adam Smith, karl marx, Amartya Sen.

What I don't like is :
1. Giving same example so many times.
2. Author wrote his opinions in last chapter only rest is just born & death time, books wrote & related University of famous economists.

but still must read interesting book to know basic of economics in simple way.

A very nice book for a Eco newbie, Achyut Godbole explains all important theories and concepts in a very lucid and interesting way. He not only explains the work of famous economists, but gives a brief about their personal life which makes it all the way more readable.
I was also interested in knowing the ideological leaning of Achyut Godbole, and I have arrived at some opinions or at least I think I have..!!
The only sore thing was he tries to pull us on a certain side of ideological divide on some issues, rather than leaving that decision to us.
All in all, Arthat is a genuine attempt to make economics interesting.

Thoroughly enjoyed the book. I would call it 'A Brief History of Economics'. Very informative yet interesting right from the word go. Really thoughtful of the author to write it in Marathi. Must read for all those people who strive to understand economic indicators and growth - both real and perceived. The book is written in an unbiased manner and yet helps one develop a view. Best wishes, Kumar Jawadekar

This is excellent book. Good information about the history of economics. But, I am really disappointed because of the printing mistakes in the book. One star is dropped because of that. Otherwise, interesting book. Must read for everyone.

समृद्ध मानवी जीवनाशी असलेला निकटचा अर्थशास्त्राचा संबंध अगदी इतिहासापासून ते आजच्या महागाई,बेरोजगारी,मंदी,दारिद्र्य अशा ज्वलंत प्रश्नांची अभ्यासपूर्ण आणि रंजक मांडणी या पुस्तकामध्ये अच्युत गोडबोलेंनी आपल्या नेहमीच्या शैलीमध्ये केली आहे. अर्थशास्त्राविषयी असलेल्या रुचीमुळे हे पुस्तक वाचण्याची खूप दिवसांपासूनची इच्छा पूर्ण झाली.

मराठी मध्ये अगदी सोप्या भाषेत अर्थशास्त्रीय संकल्पना व अर्थशास्त्राचा इतिहास समजावून सांगणारे पुस्तक. माझी अर्थशास्त्राबद्दल ची रुचि याच पुस्तकामुळे निर्माण झाली

खुपच छान. सर्वानी एकदा तरी वाचावे असे. शेवटच्या भागात लेखका ने वर्णन केलेली भीषण परिस्थिती मन स्तब्ध करुन सोडते.

पुस्तकाची प्रस्तावना वाचून असा आभास होतो कि , "आयुष्यातील प्रत्येक समस्यांची उत्तरे अर्थशास्त्रात दडली आहेत " . आणि एकाअर्थी ते बरोबर आहे ! माझ्यासारखे जे विद्यार्थी वाणिज्य शाखेतील नाहीत त्यांना हे पुस्तक वाचून नक्कीच वाटेल कि , एका रोचक विषयाला आपण मुकलो आहोत . दुरून boring वाटणारा हा विषय इतक्या सोप्पा आणि सरळ करून लेखकाने मांडलाय !
hats off to Achut sir !!!

Good book for a person who wants to start with economics or just wants to know what it is about. It explains basics in easy to understand language for common people. Also summarises work done by various economists over a period of time and in reference to their political environment.
