A lively and thought provoking discussion of economics that is guaranteed to amuse. “Clear, concise, informative, witty and, believe it or not, entertaining” according to the Chicago Tribune. This introductory economics book is written for the layman and armchair economist alike. We were hooked from the introduction by Burton Malkiel author of “A Random Walk Down Wall Street”, where he described an economist as being “someone who is good with numbers but does not have the personality to be an accountant”. One of the best non-fiction books we’ve had the chance to read in the last year. Stop by our store and flip through it to see why “Naked Economics” is hard to resist.

This is an account of Abraham Lincoln’s life in politics from the perspective of those who knew him best. Goodwin provides enough background information and insight into the events of the day and other people’s lives that the reader feels fully immersed in America of the 19th century. The most impressive aspect of Goodwin’s writing is how she creates a feeling of suspense in spite of the reader knowing exactly what is about to happen to Lincoln. Team of Rivals is a great read for people wanting to learn more about the man who kept America whole.
