  • 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.

    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!
