Lester C. Thurow (1938–2016)

Dated now, it was good for me to read at the time.

I decided to read this book many years ago because it purported to explain how the US economy works, in jargon- free language. In this respect, it lived up to that description. Unfortunately, I found the subject itself dull, and as of years later, I seem to have retained little of the book's contents. Doubtless, this is no fault of the authors.

An OK introductory text, but nothing special. I probably could have gotten the same information from Wikipedia. Although, in this case, the authors were nice enough to organize it for me...

general intro to economics; esp. good on macroeconomics & govt's role
