Book Description

If you think economics is boring, then maybe you've been learning about it in the wrong places. The humorous, informal style of Slackernomics makes it easy to learn a wealth of information that you will find useful in business, politics, or regular daily life. From the basics of economics to current political controversies, Slackernomics cuts through the dull, boring economic arguments you're used to hearing, and presents them in a lively, interesting fashion.

If you want to know about the basics of investing, or trade, or how the government uses--and misuses--you money, Slackernomics will give you the basics. Slackernomics is a must-have book for anyone who wants to know how the economy works, but who doesn't want to be bored to tears while learning it.

Slackernomics uses witty, fun--sometimes outrageous--examples to help you learn the basics of economics, and maybe get a few good laughs while doing it. By the time you're finished, you'll be able to speak about the economy as knowledgeably as any real economist.

And you'll be just as wrong as they are.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent must read! September 7, 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I came across this book because I have just recently became interested in the stocks, bonds, etc. I am tired of spending my money on stuff I dont really need and being broke in the end of the day. I wanted to understand how money really works.

I typed economics in the search and half way down the page seen this book. The title caught my eye. Hey this author promises it wont be boring.. coo!

It only took me a day and a half to read between work and sleep because it hooks you. Every subject that is a little bit confusing such as world currencies is backed by full examples that put things into perspective.

The length is just right and the price is perfect. I will be reading this book again to reinforce everything its that good.

Thank you Dale Franks for enriching my life with this great title.

Should be required reading for everyone. Might make sense to have Congress read it as well. Enjoyed the information presented.
