If 2009 taught us anything, it’s that economics matters to everybody. But how many American voters have a thorough understanding of how economies really work? Now, thanks to Yoram Bauman and Grady Klein, you don’t need a Ph.D. in economics to get a grasp on the news. Bauman, the world’s first and only stand-up economist, has teamed up with Klein, the cartoonist behind the Lost Colony graphic novels, to take the dismal out of the dismal science. From the optimizing individual to game theory to price theory, The Cartoon Introduction to Economics: Volume One: Microeconomics lays out the fundamentals of microeconomics in brightly imagined words and pictures, making the notoriously daunting subject accessible, digestible, and—against all odds—something many thought it never could be: fun.
