Let’s face it, economics can be boring…but we all need a
decent understanding of the basics if we want to survive in these
difficult and uncertain times. Let’s make it more interesting.
Easy Economics isn’t packed with reams of text or stacks of
numbers, this book is visual and engaging. The book aims to bring
you up to speed, in a way that entertains while it informs, through
a collection of many of the most frequently asked questions–plus
some you probably haven’t thought of–on the subject of economics.
The topics range from:
* The difference between Debt and Deficit
* Causes and cures of recessions
* The Financial Crisis of 2007-2009 explained
* Is globalization good or bad?
* How fiscal and monetary policies differ
* Bubbles and Busts
Unlike so many other books on the subject, it explains through a
Q & A format with entertaining and informative illustration,
providing material that many people ordinarily find uninviting and
even intimidating in an easy-to-digest, appealing way.

THE TEAM
Although they didn’t know each other at the time, Leonard
Wolfe and Lee Smith were both students at Yale together:
Smith as an undergraduate, and Wolfe as a graduate student.
Eventually they worked together at Fortune, where Wolfe was
an art director and Smith a senior writer/editor who served as
Fortune’s bureau chief in both Tokyo and Washington.
Stephen Buckles, who served as the book’s economics
consultant, has had a distinguished career in economics education
and currently teaches economics at Vanderbilt University.
Roy Doty, whose charming illustrations grace these pages,
is considered one of this country’s finest cartoonists, and his
work has appeared in almost every major publication in America.
