Basic Economics, Fourth Edition: A Common Sense Guide to the Economy Audiobook

" Just starting to read this, and it's clear headed and fascinating! I always KNEW rent control was a bad idea, but reading the section on price controls explained why. Reading this makes me feel like a grown-up, finally, on financial matters. "

" This book is different than your typical economics book. It offers, without any graphs or fancy math, the principles behind economics from the ground up. Some of them common sense, others counterintuitive, but all enlightening. It uses history, logic, and most of all, practice to show just how different the economist is from your everyday person. A must read for the person new to economics. "
