I love how succinct and quick this read is. After all, it is history so it can only be so exciting but the interesting little facts help with that.

Great overview of the world’s economic policies and how they’ve evolved over time. 

An easy read on the history of world economics. Although the book does not go into details it does provide a good perspective of how economics has evolved around the world. Good read to get an overview on world economics.

Pretty good, well-told overview of economics over the years and engaging.

I would like to state for the record if Econ had been this interesting in school, I would have paid attention. This book tell s the story of capitalism (well…condensed) – of how our market system developed. Why the allies won WWII… same reason the North won the American Civil War.. economics. Econ and history, I saw the synopsis and HAD to read it (bought another one of his book half way through this one!). Most of the we rate books with stars…this one gets judged by the amount of highlighting I did. It’s a lot! 
 
Thank you NetGalley and Mariner Books. Who knew economic was fascinating?! #HowEconomicsExplainstheWorld #NetGalley.
