“By the end of the reading, there is no doubt about how the book became an international bestseller.” Andrew Smith, Scripps-Howard news service “Michael Goodwin hasn’t just written a great graphic novel - he’s written one that should be required for every school, newsroom and library in the United States.” Economix is a book I’m going to buy and give to people.” Burr’s appealing illustrations add punch, humor, and clarity to Goodwin’s already-excellent storytelling skills. Light switches flicked on in my mind every few pages or so, and after reading Economix I felt like I understood many fundamental aspects about the way the world works. Tomas Sedlacek, chief economic strategist at Ceskoslovenska Obchodni Banka, former member of the National Economic Council of the Czech Republic. “This book can lend a correct history of economics as a treasury of knowledge as well as adventure and detective backward in reality.” –Ricardo Paes Mamede, deputy director of the Department of Political Economy at ISCTE-University Institute of Lisbon Michael Goodwin does us a favor by helping us to take the economics out of the shadows.” I have never before imagined recommending a comic book to anyone who wants to learn a little about this science that someone once called “dismal”. However, it has an even greater advantage compared to the generality of introductory economics books: it is tremendously fun. But Economix is just that: a book that takes seriously the discussion about the fundamental concepts and ideas of economics, placing them in their historical and doctrinal context, in a way accessible to most readers, making it very clear that the story told here reflects the author’s convictions (which we don’t have to agree with in order to appreciate). “It may seem strange to adopt such a serious tone to talk about a comic book. Guinnane, Philip Golden Bartlett Professor of Economic History, Yale University Any reader wondering how our economy got to where it is today will find this a refreshing overview.” Goodwin has a knack for distilling complex ideas and events in ways that invite the reader to follow the big picture without losing track of what actually happened.
“ Economix is a lively, cheerfully opinionated romp through the historical and intellectual foundations of our current economy and our current economic problems. From the introduction by Joel Bakan, author of The Corporation: The Pathological Pursuit of Profit and Power “Goodwin has done the seemingly impossible–he has made economics comprehensible and funny.”

You could read ten books on the subject and not glean as much information.” Kenneth Rogoff, professor of economics and public policy at Harvard and former Chief Economist of the IMF “Teaches everything you should have learned in college about economics.” “I just cannot stress enough how amazing this book is!”
