The bestselling citizen’s guide to economics
“Thomas Sowell is the nation’s greatest living economist.” —American Spectator
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.
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.

Good read. Informative.
Very thorough and accessible to readers. A bit long and repeating, which itself is a good learning method, but I’d prefer it a bit more concise. For anyone wanting a introduction to economics, it’s an excellent book.
