Whatever Happened to Penny Candy?: A Fast, Clear, and Fun Explanation of the Economics You Need for Success in Your Career, Business, and Investments by Richard J. Maybury

4.0

This is an explanation of economics and the monetary system that even a middle school student can understand. Maybury writes this as a series of letters from “Uncle Eric.” In each letter he carefully explains one principle, beginning with “what is money.” My favorite principle has to be tanstaafl = There Ain’t No Such Thing As A Free Lunch! A couple of hours reading Maybury is easily equal to countless dinner table conversations over 20+ years with my husband (an economist). I highly recommend this to everyone.
