Taking Economics Seriously by Dean Baker

robdabear's review against another edition

4.0

I'll admit at first that I was initially worried this tiny little book would be an ideological pamphlet for promoting one political position against another. Until the final essay, I was generally wrong. This small read briefly an easily sums up the massive financial issues the Unites States currently experiences, and offers reasonable solutions or outcomes for each issue. I would wonder that every politician, right or left, should read this. I was rather disappointed by the final essay, briefly describing the fact that progressives need to get their act together and policy straight so they can reverse the political right's effect on the national economy. Otherwise, this was a decent and informative read that I would strongly recommend for anyone not familiar with current economic issues (which you should be).

Very short but interesting book with provoking ideas. I would like to read more by this author.
