Clear and precise, this book is meant to entertaining and educational by the will of the author to make an economic extension accessible to everyone, in the form of a comic book illustrated very jovially, allowing novices to approach Economics without getting lost in the complexity of the discipline.
The author makes an effort to be fairly neutral in his explanations, and truly traces the history (a very synthetic way) from a strictly economic perspective (closely related to politics you can imagine)
But beware, this book is only a basis to develop through other works if we want to capitalize on time spent on it. I would advocate not to be confined to approach the economy by being interested and perpetrators of this trend, but rather to have a general and thorough knowledge of various ideologies (read Friedman monetarist, the Manifesto of Marx PC and Engels, Keynes, Hayek Liberal etc etc), the author also offers a lot of books to read in order to deepen his knowledge. (End of book)
However, two minor points, the author warns us in preface, but we realize, especially in the last third of the book, that the book is very US-centric, making this part sometimes tiring, even verbose, but nothing too serious in short, fragmented relevant reading will able to overcome that.
Second, even if there is an extension, be armed with a dictionary may nevertheless be useful to clarify certain terms that the author has not seen fit to define. Less than one star for the two points.
To be compendious, excellent discovery in all, I highly recommend to students, students, and anyone in search of economic knowledge, the terms of liberalism, capitalism, protectionism will not have this confusing mystique; the economy is not reserved for an elite and determines our life in the nation, do not leave the discretion to the oligarchy.
