Economics for Real People: An Introduction to the Austrian School
by Gene Callahan
On This Page
Description
LARGE PRINT EDITION! More at LargePrintLiberty.com. The second edition of the fun and fascinating guide to the main ideas of the Austrian School of economics, written in sparkling prose especially for the non-economist. Gene Callahan shows that good economics isn't about government planning or statistical models. It's about human beings and the choices they make in the real world.This may be the most important book of its kind since Hazlitt's Economics in One Lesson. Though written for the show more beginner, it has been justly praised by scholars too, including Israel Kirzner, Walter Block, and Peter Boettke. show lessTags

Great introduction to Austrian Economics for regular people. I really recommend this to those who can't be bothered to read books on economics, because they are hard to understand. Read it!
