The Cartoon Introduction to Economics: Microeconomics

The Cartoon Introduction to Economics, vol 1: Microeconomics by Yoram Bauman and Grady Klein; 224 pages

I went into this knowing absolutely nothing about economics, and hoping to learn something. I felt like the authors did a pretty good job of explaining the basic concepts, though the jargon throughout the book made me feel like it was designed to be used by Econ. students, rather than the average person. I did learn a little bit about the subject, which is always great, but I got lost in the second half of the book, where there's a lot of math. An interesting book. I'll be sure to check out the volume on macroeconomics when it comes out.
