Apparently I needed fun comics in order to settle in and learn some things about economics and the history thereof. This is a tremendously insightful and accessible introduction to how we got where we are today. If you've always wanted to know more about the field but generally find the details dull, this is the book you need. ( )

A very clear historical review of economics in fun quick comic style.

The author's view comes through quite strongly. He is cynical against the abstract views of economics which do not take into account a holistic societal benefit, including externalities of various sorts. ( )

This book put so many puzzles pieces together for me. Economics, politics, wars, technology, investment, business, management, social issues, climate change and so on. I wish i had read this way way earlier. ( )

Невероятно, но факт: в формате комикса можно рассказать историю мировой экономики, не низводя ее до лубка. Впрочем, некоторые действующие лица по силе воздействия на глобальные события вполне себе супергерои. Знакомство с чередой отцов-основателей «унылой науки» (Смит, Рикардо, Маркс) перемежается с малоизвестными событиями и фактами: так, голландцы, оказывается, в 1672 году попросту убили и съели премьер-министра. Ближе к нашим дням автор оставляет нейтрально-повествовательный тон и его личные пристрастия начинают проступать: корпорации необходимо держать в узде, а Occupy Wall Street и щелчок по носу банкам от исландцев — правильные и своевременные ответы общества.

Бреттон-Вудс, ФРС, МВФ, мыльные пузыри и кризисы — масса поводов получить широкую картину в доступном виде и/или вовлечь ваших детей в увлекательный мир финансов и кредита так, чтобы они сами просили почитать про этого «гадкого Милтона Фридмана».

No joke, the best book I've ever read about economics. An incredibly accessible overview of economic history and theory (with pictures!) ( )
