In fewer than two hundred pages, Carol Turner explains the history, concepts, and vocabulary of economics in a way anyone can understand, and with a bit of humor thrown in. Better than an outline or a summary because it actually explains the concepts; easier than a textbook because the author remembers economics isn't everyone's favorite subject. Clear writing and gentle humor make this an enjoyable read.
Carol Turner was born and raised in Colorado and lived for many years in Northern California.
