Goodwin, M: Economix How and Why Our Economy Works and Doesn't Work, in Words and Pictures

Ich habe dieses Buch auf Empfehlung meines VWL Dozenten gekauft und bin sehr zufrieden. Für jeden geeignet, der sich einmal auf andere Weise mit den wichtigsten Etappen der Ökonomie befassen möchte.

The introduction says something about reading it within a few hours - well since I am not that comprehensive of economics in general, I need a little longer. But thats exactly the reason why I purchased it and up until now I really enjoy it! Its very visual and easy to understand since, even in the case of having to go back to a page, the pictures not only make me remember the scene it was explained in, but also the author mentions the page number you'd have to go back to. I recommend it to anybody who feels like s/he doesn't quite understand economic history, and if you are a North American Studies student like me it surely presents the country's progress quite well. Very happy about this entertaining and interesting read!
