What Money Is and How We Spend It

Résumé du livre

Dr. Heyman realizes that doctors use jargon to speak with other doctors. When they use jargon to speak with patients, there is a lot of misunderstanding. The same is true for economists who communicate with words that sound like double-speak or gibberish to the uninitiated. The author uses cartoons, where an economist would use a graph. He uses basic vocabulary, and shuns esoteric terms. There are no long lists to memorize. The plot goes behind-the-scenes to show what a family ready to buy a new car feels and experiences.
