Naked Economics..

well, since Mr.david was always asking us 2 widen out perspective and knowledge on economics and stuff..just randomly decided 2 buy a book which i realized was not cheap, started reading since i have so much ideal time and guess what, I'm hooked 2 this book =)

come on, as students you want to learn something about economics, but your textbooks are so damn dull. What exactly does the Federal Reserve do? How come money is still worth anything when there's inflation every year? How come insurance companies are charging more and more for health coverage, but no one is making any money, and no one can afford coverage anymore?
it uses like so many examples from recent events and a friendly, rapid-fire prose style and even brings the most econo-phobic into the beauty of the "dismal science." For the sake of sanity, he eschews all graphs and charts. Yes, even i  can dig it. In fact, you'll come to see economic thinking as not only USEFUL, but FUN!!!!!
