<p>A lively and thought provoking discussion of economics that is guaranteed to amuse. &#8220;Clear, concise, informative, witty and, believe it or not, entertaining&#8221; 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 &#8220;A Random Walk Down Wall Street&#8221;, where he described an economist as being &#8220;someone who is good with numbers but does not have the personality to be an accountant&#8221;. One of the best non-fiction books we&#8217;ve had the chance to read in the last year. Stop by our store and flip through it to see why &#8220;Naked Economics&#8221; is hard to resist.</p>
