Jose Lopez’s Reviews > Naked Economics: Undressing the Dismal Science > Status Update

I’m loving it rn

OMG!! I love this book, I love it when he analyzes and talks about good incentives, bad results, when he talks about the results and why they would happen, they seem so obvious.

“This book is not economics for dummies; it is economics for smart people who never studied economics. Most of the great ideas in economics are intuitive when the dressings of complexity are peeled away. That is naked economics.
Economics should not be accessible only to the experts. The ideas are too important and too interesting. Indeed, naked economics can even be fun.”

“Even many of our political leaders could use a dose of Econ 101. President Donald Trump has made repeated assertions that outsourcing and globalization are "stealing" American jobs, leaving us poorer and more likely to be unemployed.
In fact, those kinds of statements are the economic equivalent of warning that the U.S. Navy is at risk of sailing over the edge of the world.”
