    Great seller! Item is what I ordered; good communication; shipped promptly; good value. NOTE TO SELLER: packaging was NOT appropriate for item; it was a flimsy, plastic envelope, with no stiff material to prevent creases. The book came with two deep creases that involved the *entire* item: one is a 1" triangle lower left side (bound edge); the other is a 7" triangle on upper right side (open edge).

  • Best book to wake people up for the coming collapse.

    Though not the most in depth, technical explanation of debt backed fiat currency and economics the book does not try to portray itself as such. Instead think of this book more like a great introduction to US economic history, abridged, as to where we came from where went and what our ultimate end destination is. The puns and similes to the people in Usonia and the US are uncanny and very amusing. It is a lot like a family movie, like Shrek. The children can read it and understand it while the adults can laugh at the jokes like Brent Barnacle dropping money from palm trees or Jim W Bass asking Hank Plankton if he was the same guy who used to work at the companies that caused the 'hut' crises. Granted a lot of liberties were taken, for example the characters that portray Greenspan and ...

  • The world makes so much more sense.

    This books makes economics engaging. The author was able to take seemingly complex concepts, break them down into a simple-to-understand story, and make an economics book easily readable. Buy this book - the world will make a lot more sense to you afterward.

  • Excellent book that anyone can understand.

    Excellent book that anyone can understand about how economies work.

  • Great book

    A bit simplistic but to the point. Recommended for any student interested in economic principles. I am only half way through and so far, I can grasp economic concepts very easily. Once you read that book, you'll understand why keynesian economics is not the way to go

  • A must read!

    This book is great! It really gives the reader a chance to understand basic economic principles and removes the mystery of this field of knowledge. I highly recommend this book for everyone, since economics is something that actually can effect or own lives.
