In This Economy?: How Money & Markets Really Work by Kyla Scanlon

informative inspiring medium-paced

3.75

This book is a great beginner’s intro to economics with easy to understand graphics, historical examples, references, and illustrations. Scanlon focuses on the humanity of economics, the emotional decisions that can drive our purchasing power, as well as policy. I would have liked more info on the following topics: insurance, retirement savings and the future, public and private equity, how corporations avoid taxes and other loopholes. Her writing style has a casual Gen Z tone that is empathetic, critical, and curious. She has a healthy dose of skepticism without being condescending or cynical either.
