In the beginning of your book, you express a sincere concern that most people don’t know or understand the history of economics.Abraham, Ruth, Devlin, Majella, Hollowary, Anne and Lee, AdeleĪHRC networks database: filming and performing renaissance history. So there really wasn’t a way for laypeople to learn about the things that interest us–how we got where we are, where we’re headed, and what we can do about it. Worse, economics, especially at the introductory levels, is surprisingly limited it studiously avoids many of the questions that matter. I think that’s because the economy is fascinating–we live in it, after all–but economics isn’t an appropriate tool for most of us to understand it the way it’s usually taught relies on abstractions, math, and geometry that drive most people away. I really had no idea what to expect, and I’d mentally prepared myself for the book to fall between the cracks (it really is an odd beast).
Has the reception surprised you, and why do you think it’s doing so well?
That’s really impressive for any book, but particularly for one tackling a topic as complex and dry as economics. Recently released this fall, the book has been a huge hit–and it can be yours when you donate at least $35 to The LAMP by December 18, thanks to Mike and Abrams Books! Author Joel Bakan says, “Goodwin has done the seemingly impossible–he has made economics comprehensible and funny,” and ’s James Floyd Kelly says, “I just cannot stress how amazing this book is!” Read on for more about how the book came to be a graphic novel, why everyone needs to understand economics and the links between money and media.Įconomix has been getting a lot of attention–it made the New York Times Top 10 list for best-selling graphic novels, and got great praise from economists and other reviewers. Michael Goodwin is the author of Economix: How Our Economy Works (And Doesn’t Work) In Words and Pictures, a graphic novel explaining in plain English what everyone should know about how our economy works (hint: does not include cliffs).
