I think economics will always be a bit of a closed world to me. But this is probably as good an overview as any and has given me more understanding than I had previously. There is a lot of content and I struggled to keep up with things at times. On the whole I felt it was well written and as accessible as economics ever can be. I would have liked a glossary. And I still struggle with derivatives and hedge funds. Ultimately, the book did nothing to disabuse me of my conviction that the global economy is one giant Ponzi scheme - and at times I thought the author came close to saying so.
