Review Roundup

Charles Wheelan's Naked Economics: Undressing the Dismal Science simplifies complex economic concepts for general readers, making the subject engaging and accessible. Praised for its humor and clarity, it bridges theory and real-world application effectively. Critics, however, note occasional oversimplifications and a U.S.-centric perspective. Overall, a valuable primer for non-economists.
