Synopsis
The bestselling citizen's guide to economics Basic Economics is a citizen's guide to economics, written for those who want to understand how the economy works but have no interest in jargon or equations. Bestselling economist Thomas Sowell explains the general principles underlying different economic systems: capitalist, socialist, feudal, and so on. In readable language, he shows how to critique economic policies in terms of the incentives they create, rather than the goals they proclaim. With clear explanations of the entire field, from rent control and the rise and fall of businesses to the international balance of payments, this is the first book for anyone who wishes to understand how the economy functions. This fifth edition includes a new chapter explaining the reasons for large differences of wealth and income between nations. Drawing on lively examples from around the world and from centuries of history, Sowell explains basic economic principles for the general public in plain English., In this fifth edition of Basic Economics , Thomas Sowell revises and updates his popular book on common sense economics, bringing the world into clearer focus through a basic understanding of the fundamental economic principles and how they explain our lives. Drawing on lively examples from around the world and from centuries of history, Sowell explains basic economic principles for the general public in plain English. Basic Economics , which has now been translated into six languages and has additional material online, remains true to its core principle: that the fundamental facts and principles of economics do not require jargon, graphs, or equations, and can be learned in a relaxed and even enjoyable way.

    Massive tome nearly 700 pages

    While knowing I was weak in my Econ knowledge I wanted to gain more insights and better understand the various terms and just overall Econ speak. This book covered what appears enough to now lead to going deeper into different business and policy sectors. It’s also easy to read with relatable examples. My understanding has been deepened to learn more. Definitely recommend this book especially while quarantined Most of us have more free time so using it to learn is important to me.

    The book should be used in high school.

    Dr Sowell’s explaination of economics is amazing. I wish everyone would read his books. He is one of the smartest individuals I have ever known. The US Congress should be required to read this book!

    Gave me the correct prescription glasses through which to look at the world without BS.

    This book has changed my life for the better. I learnt so much that I didn't know and it dispelled too many lies I've been told throughout my life.

    Basic Economics - everyone’s primer

    This book should be required reading in every high school. Sowell makes a subject that many find difficult to grasp straightforward and easy to understand.

    Must read

    Solid common sense approach to todays highly emotional arguments. Do not believe everything you hear on tv. Mr. Sowell will open your eyes and set you free. That’s how important this book is.
