John Tamny’s “Popular Economics” is wise, insightful, yet eminently readable. Equally at ease quoting John Stuart Mill and Keith Richards, Tamny succeeds masterfully in making economics palatable (“a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down,” writes the reviewer, tritely). There probably aren’t too many high school or college students reading blogs on Forbes.com, so I hope you adults reading this will give a copy of “Popular Economics” to a couple of young people you know. It will help them understand this world of ours better.
