I have actually wanted a book like this to come out and I bet I'm not the only one. If you've been trying to figure out what the heck is going on with the economy, this book can help. It clearly explains economic theory in an easy to understand and entertaining way. That sounds impossible but here it is. I don't always agree with the conclusions or the opinions but Goodwin does make clear that some of it is his opinion. And that economic theory is a highly contentious field of study. It's all theory!
