booknotes_athina's review against another edition
4.0
It is a very well-written and informative non-fiction book. The author through short chapters recounts the contributions of key thinkers like Adam Smith, Karl Marx, John Maynard Keynes and many more. He also examines topics such as the invention of money and the Great Depression.
In a sentence, this book summarises the development od econimic thinking until the present day.
It is written in a way that even younger readers can understand it.
I would recommend it to anyone interested in learning more about economics and its history.

Rehash of basic economics with current and relatable world examples, which should go over easy with teens and young adults. Almost could call this book "economics for dummies"

The most accessible guide into providing the basis on economic ideas and it’s history. Written almost as fiction!

This has quickly become a favorite book, not just a favorite economics book. As I neared the end of undergrad, I started to worry that maybe I had forgotten everything I learned in the first three years of studying economics so I picked up this book to see how much of it was familiar! Niall Kishtainy does an amazing job of explaining the basics of economics and does so with humor and heart. It's a narrative-style that makes it hard to put down the book.
