'A truly delightful scamper through economic ideas and history.'

– Niall Kishtainy, author of A Little History of Economics

‘I have read many introductions to economics, none as entertaining and readily accessible as this one. Monty, you’re a lucky dog to have such wonderful teachers!’

– Alexander Pepper, professor of management practice, LSE

'An engaging and at times touching book'

– John Crace, The Guardian

‘Economics concepts can often be difficult to grasp, but the authors have done an admirable job of explaining them in plain language … This is one of the few books on economics that works as a textbook while remaining actually readable!’

– Terry Freedman, Teach Secondary

'Enjoyable... This undemanding presentation serves equally well as an introduction or a refresher course and will especially appeal to readers who appreciate their learning enhanced with a bit of whimsy'
