Simply economics, no math, no formulas.
I would recommend it to anyone who has no knowledge about economics and want to get started.
Great design.

A great starting position for my son

This book was a great financial conversational starter between my son and I. The book floats up all the relevant financial ideas you might need to know in a simple and colourful way… facilitating a conversation, but be warned. It is very much a skate across the surface.

Very nice guide and introduction to economics. Of course, you're not going to learn much just by reading it but it provides a starting point to then continue learning from, through more advanced textbooks, wikipedia articles and more.

This was an easy read---very simplified with good illustrations and gives a reasonable explanation. Was able to skim/read through it in less than one hour

Great way to learn the basics of economics which ultimately leads to you being more knowledgeable in other sectors such as finance and business.

Good introduction to key concepts.

Another fancy way to say thinking at the margin: economic decisions are not taken all at once, but in increments.
