|  | Econ (Wheelan) by Burton G. Malkiel, Charles J. Wheelan
Finally! A book about economics that won't put you to sleep. Economics--it's everywhere you look, at the gas station and the grocery store, in your mailbox and your piggy bank. From those lollipops you buy at age five to that mortgage payment you make at age thirty-five, the dismal science, as Thomas Carlyle called it, has you surrounded. Dismal, it's called. But as Charles Wheelan shows us in NAKED ECONOMICS, this essential science can be a rollicking good time. By undressing economics-stripping away all of the diagrams, equations, and jargon-and adding a dose of humor, Wheelan brings this often-overlooked subject to life. Packed with witty anecdotes and commonsensical examples culled from as far as sub-Saharan Africa and as near as the author's own backyard, this book is a fun and breezy tour of the economic world all around us. NAKED ECONOMICS is the perfect book for all of us who want another crack at Econ 101. It demystifies key concepts, lays bare the truths behind the numbers, and answers all of those dumb questions we've always been too embarrassed to ask. For all the discussion of Alan Greenspan in the media, what does the Fed actually do? What about all the debate over globalization and world trade? And tell me, how do I turn my money into more on Wall Street? AUTHOR: Burton G. Malkiel, Charles J. Wheelan
