Features: This is an economics book that won't let you sleep wrong--some said such a book couldn't be written, a light-hearted book that makes you an experienced and cultured citizen---impossible! Fortunately, Wheelan has proven that those who argue against this are wrong. This is The Naked Economics---an economics you've never seen before! Economics is probably one of the most imprecise but influential disciplines on our lives. Whether in political decisions or business and finance, the faces and voices of economics experts are always familiar to us, and a single opinion they publish somewhere might affect our income and lifestyle next month. From the lollipop you learned about at age 5 to the mortgage you pay at age 35, economics, as Thomas Calelli calls it, the "dull science," has always surrounded you. This book is perfect for us who want to explain economic common sense in a popular way. It unravels the mysteries of key concepts, reveals the truth behind the numbers, and answers all the "stupid" questions we're too shy to ask.
