I couldn't put this book down。 It answered so many questions I had over the years about where money came from， how the government's budget worked， why the economy turns down， what the government does to help get it back on track， what the Fed does， what investment banks/private equity/hedge funds actually do， etc。 It is beautifully written and very easy to read。 Most importantly， the author tries to give information （the book reads like he is telling a story） and avoids making value or political I couldn't put this book down。 It answered so many questions I had over the years about where money came from， how the government's budget worked， why the economy turns down， what the government does to help get it back on track， what the Fed does， what investment banks/private equity/hedge funds actually do， etc。 It is beautifully written and very easy to read。 Most importantly， the author tries to give information （the book reads like he is telling a story） and avoids making value or political judgments。 I both learned a lot from the book and really enjoyed it。 。。。more

Great read for anyone who wants to better understand what they're hearing in the news and politics about the economic system。 This book got me jazzed up- I was surprised at how clear and interesting the author was able to write about our economic system。 If you've ever taken an economics class and walked away still not understanding how the economy actually works， then this book is for you。 There are no charts or formulas- just a highly readable （sometimes even funny） narrative that explains thi Great read for anyone who wants to better understand what they're hearing in the news and politics about the economic system。 This book got me jazzed up- I was surprised at how clear and interesting the author was able to write about our economic system。 If you've ever taken an economics class and walked away still not understanding how the economy actually works， then this book is for you。 There are no charts or formulas- just a highly readable （sometimes even funny） narrative that explains things I've always wondered about or heard about， but never really understood。 The book really leaves readers form their own opinions， to become more informed voters and advocates for better policies。 I never would have thought I would find a book about economics that is a page turner- I didn't want to put it down until I finished reading it。 I walked away really appreciating that economics isn't an abstract science based on math， it's really about our values and choices as a society。 。。。more

I enjoyed this book。 I found the writing very clear and done in such a way that a background in finance or economics isn’t necessary to understand and enjoy this book。 I also found the writing compelling and it was hard for me to put the book down。 Howard Yaruss writes with a conversational tone and with some humor。 I found the book rather more prescriptive than just descriptive but I was fine with this as Yaruss supports his points with studies。 Thank you to Netgalley and Rowman & Littlefield， I enjoyed this book。 I found the writing very clear and done in such a way that a background in finance or economics isn’t necessary to understand and enjoy this book。 I also found the writing compelling and it was hard for me to put the book down。 Howard Yaruss writes with a conversational tone and with some humor。 I found the book rather more prescriptive than just descriptive but I was fine with this as Yaruss supports his points with studies。 Thank you to Netgalley and Rowman & Littlefield， Prometheus for the advance reader copy。 。。。more
