Описание: New York Times bestseller Stimulus plans: good or bad? Free markets: How free are they? Jobs: Can we afford them? Occupy Wall Street . . . worldwide! Everybody's talking about the economy, but how can we, the people, understand what Wall Street or Washington knows--or say they know? Read Economix.

Economix explains it all, from the beginning of Western economic thought, to markets free and otherwise, to economic failures, successes, limitations, and future possibilities. It's the essential, accessible guide to understanding the economy and economic practices. A must-read for every citizen and every voter.

PRAISE FOR ECONOMIX "Goodwin brilliantly contextualizes economic theories with historical narrative, while Burr's simple but elegant illustration employs classical techniques like caricaturing politicians and symbolizing big businesses (as a gleeful factory) to help the reader visualize difficult concepts." --Publishers Weekly, starred review "[Economix] brings a lively visual sensibility to this intensely abstruse subject matter without condescending to the reader or dumbing the ideas down." --MotherJones.com "Flat-out awesome!" --Wired.com "This witty and elegant volume takes on a number of complex issues--in this case, economics, history and finance--and makes them comprehensible for mere mortals." --Miami Herald "After reading Economix I felt like I understood many fundamental aspects about the way the world works that I had been too lazy to learn about before . . .

Thankfully Michael Goodwin saw the need for a basic primary on how the economy currently works and how we got here. A text like this would certainly help high school and college students gain their first taste of financial literacy and it comes recommended for the rest of us." --ComicMix.com "Just when the world seems to have fallen apart thanks to the economy, Goodwin and Burr's Economix comes along to give us some understanding of the immense, yet still 'delicate machine' that controls our world so that we can be the rulers with our votes and not the uninformed (or disinformed) ruled." --BigThink.com "Michael Goodwin hasn't just written a great graphic novel--he's written one that should be required for every school, newsroom and library in the United States." --Minneapolis Star Tribune "It's simply phenomenal. You could read ten books on the subject and not glean as much information." -- David Bach founder of FinishRich Media; author of nine New York Times bestsellers, including Debt Free for Life and The Automatic Millionaire "Goodwin has done the seemingly impossible--he has made economics comprehensible and funny." -- Joel Bakan, author of The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power "An amazing lesson in true-world economics! Delightfully presented, powerful, insightful, and important information! What a fun way to fathom a deep and often dark subject!" -- John Perkins, author of Hoodwinked and the New York Times bestseller Confessions of an Economic Hit Man "Smart, insightful, clear, and as close to the truth as economics can get.
