I generally enjoy books that cover Economics topics for laymen, but I didn't like this one very much. The basics of the field are presented in a clear way, but the examples were often oversimplified to the point that they were distracting. His focus on economics isolated from all other aspects of society lead to him saying ridiculous things like, "taxes have no effect on the economy".

"Guided by the right theory of cornflakes - which is that families buy cornflakes in order to eat them and won't buy more than they want to eat - he might have realized that letting the government do people's shopping would not make them any hungrier."

Amusing and though-provoking. Still, apparently it only takes five pages of economics to put me to sleep.
