I enjoyed this book. I liked the conversational and sometimes witty writing. I had previously taken economics courses (many decades ago) and the book is a great refresher. I suspect that it would make a very good introductory text, but I can’t really speak to that. The book is concise; it did not cover anything in great detail, but does have a bibliography. The book also has a handy glossary. I enjoyed the discussions of the social impact of economics - including gender, racial discrimination, and climate change. Overall, this is a great read. Thank you to Netgalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Wellfleet Press for the advance reader copy.

Where was this book when I was trying to figure out economics in college! This book has a lot of knowledge packed into a short amount of pages. It does read slightly like a textbook, but not in a bad way. Everything is explained instead of trying to infer information. I really appreciated that. I’ve been taking some accounting courses and those books are just…horrible!
This book is perfect for someone looking to understand economics a little deeper or preparing for an economics course.

Grace Wynter's EVERYDAY ECONOMICS MADE EASY is that most rare of books that taught me concepts I might have known and have since forgotten and done so with such grace, such simple brilliance that I enjoyed the learning. Financial discussions and articles no longer scare me off--and I look forward to conversations about money, about economics, the world, and why people behave the way they do. Wynter's clear prose and effortless weaving of history, philosophy, individuals, and graphics made for an entertaining, illuminating read. I received an advance copy and these opinions are my own unbiased thoughts.
