Please let me know what you think of the book. I've been looking for a "simple" economics manual so I can duke it out with some "liberal arts-obsessed libber-friends" of mine in a language they understand. They've been feeding at the "steal from the rich" and give to the poor trough for decades and we never talk the same language.
Sorry to those librarians who feel they're highly educated but underpaid. THat's how the working world functions.
And if you haven't already read it, I highly recommend "BIAS", by Bernie Goldberg. Its an easy read, dead on, and funny as a bonus. I thought it a bit expensive ($25 in paperback) so I got it from the library. Bernie sticks it to Dan Rather bigtime, and gets the rest of the liberal press pretty good. He makes a pretty good case that Television media news takes its lead from the NY Times.
