Everybody's talking about the economy, but how can we, the people, understand what Wall Street or Washington knows-or say they know? Read author Michael Goodwin and illustrator Dan E. Burr's New York Times bestseller Economix. With clear, witty writing and quirky, accessible art, this important and timely graphic novel transforms "the dismal science" of economics into a fun, fact-filled story about human nature and our attempts to make the most of what we've got . . . and sometimes what our neighbors have got. Economix explains it all, from the beginning of Western economic thought; to markets free and otherwise; to economic failures, successes, limitations, and future possibilities. It's the essential, accessible guide to understanding the economy and economic practices. A must-read for every citizen and every voter.

"Goodwin brilliantly contextualizes economic theories with historical narrative, while Burr's simple but elegant illustration employs classical techniques like caricaturing politicians and symbolizing big businesses (as a gleeful factory) to help the reader visualize difficult concepts." -Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) "This witty and elegant volume takes on a number of complex issues-in this case, economics, history and finance-and makes them comprehensible for mere mortals." -Miami Herald "Michael Goodwin hasn't just written a great graphic novel-he's written one that should be required for every school, newsroom and library in the United States." -Minneapolis Star Tribune

Ich habe dieses Buch auf Empfehlung meines VWL Dozenten gekauft und bin sehr zufrieden.
Für jeden geeignet, der sich einmal auf andere Weise mit den wichtigsten Etappen der Ökonomie befassen möchte.
Great Book!

The introduction says something about reading it within a few hours - well since I am not that comprehensive of economics in general, I need a little longer. But thats exactly the reason why I purchased it and up until now I really enjoy it! Its very visual and easy to understand since, even in the case of having to go back to a page, the pictures not only make me remember the scene it was explained in, but also the author mentions the page number you'd have to go back to. I recommend it to anybody who feels like s/he doesn't quite understand economic history, and if you are a North American Studies student like me it surely presents the country's progress quite well. Very happy about this entertaining and interesting read!
