My Review:

I have always considered economics one of those subjects like quantum physics. It would take years and an advanced degree to understand it. I really appreciate how Dr. Finlay explains everything in ways I was able to grasp. She challenges readers to explain the concepts to an eight year old so has made the information that clear.

I appreciate her helping me understand all the aspects of the economy, like pricing, inflation, unemployment and trade. She also clearly explains what the US government and the Federal Reserve do to regulate the economy and what is means to have an economy that is running well.

I recommend this book that takes a complex subject and explains it well.

My rating: 4/5 stars.
