I was intrigued by the title and premise of this book. I picked it up in part to potentially learn some new nuances of economics and, in part, to potentially glean some ideas about how to explain economic concepts to my own daughter. I found it to be a mixed bag. Some of the essays were clear and clever, but others were a bit convoluted and the chosen metaphor or example was a bit complicated and/or didn’t quite match back up to the concept it was illustrating quite seamlessly. But, on the whole, his examples and explanations were accessible and memorable.
