Additional Praise for The Little Book of Economics
“The data are well chosen and the writing is decidedly unwonky. Ip skillfully includes essential economic history without making readers feel as though a time warp has thrown them back into an unpleasant undergraduate economics course. . . . ‘A must-read in economic literacy.’”
—USA Today
“If you’ve never read anything about economics but have often wondered about it, this is, quite simply, the best book for you to read. It’s short, but packs in a lot of information without becoming boring and often with a small, healthy dose of humor. It’s very, very readable and could be digested on an airplane flight. More importantly, it gives you just enough connections between events and economic theory to pull you deeper into topics that interest you and makes reading economic news that much easier.”
—Trent Hamm, The Christian Science Monitor online
“Journalist Greg Ip’s neat new book goes a long way toward dealing with our pandemic economic ignorance . . . [his] little book packs a big punch.”
—Miami Herald
“Greg Ip has the rare talent of making even the toughest topics easy to understand. In The Little Book of Economics, he tells you what you need to know with superb clarity and memorable examples. I recommend this book to anyone who wants a clear explanation of how the forces of economics shape the world.”
—Michael J. Mauboussin, Chief Investment Strategist, Legg Mason Capital Management; Author of Think Twice
