How an Economy Grows and Why It Doesn't The main point of the book is that very simple principals are all that is needed to understand the overall workings of any sized economy. Economic theory is explained in the narrative of a series of approximately 300 comic frames. The setting is a tropical island where hunter/gatherer cavemen struggle daily to collect fish to eat. The concepts of risk, creation of capital assets, return, consumption, saving and borrowing are explained. The economy of the island becomes increasingly dynamic as the story goes on. Institutions develope to protect the islanders' savings and captial assets from theives and disasters. The concepts and purposes of government, public works projects, welfare, inflation are progressively treated in context of this island economy. Some people may not like the comic format but I think it would be difficult to explain the subject better or more concisely. Irwin Schiff 1985 200

Money, Banking And The Federal Reserve Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson understood "The Monster". But to most Americans today, Federal Reserve is just a name on the dollar bill. They have no idea of what the central bank does to the economy, or to their own economic lives; of how and why it was founded and operates; or of the sound money and banking that could end the statism, inflation, and business cycles that the Fed generates. 2006 143

Thai Brides Although presented in a fairly light-hearted format, it was very thought-provoking. Of course, to most of us the notion of these agencies is abhorrent to say the least. However, largely due to the style of presentation, it was quite revealing to listen to the viewpoints of the 'clients' and owners, who seemed to feel comfortable expressing their views. Louis Theroux' style, which does not at first appear overly challenging, allows a truer insight into a person's behaviour and makes him/her less defensive and consequently more candid. Louis Theroux 2008 163
