It was a decent book, it provided the basics of economics which I should've expected. It is Economics for everybody... I learned most of this stuff in my Tenth Grade History class, but I did learn some new things such as the bank system, how it works, the investment system, and a brief introduction of the investment field. I wouldn't recommend it to anybody because it's a book about a certain topic and I doubt a sixteen year old kid besides me would be interested in reading a huge book that repeats itself a lot and talks about economics.
