This book was originally published in 1946 with various revisions that ended in the late 1970's. This was for the American economy when:
-the middle class had purchasing power
-the U.S. was a manufacturing based economy
-there was faith in businesses taking care of employees and not shareholders
-before Reganomics
-prior to Asias rise of manufacturing
-the S&L crisis, the 'too big to fail' bailouts, .com bubble, the housing crisis., nor the various recessions since 1980, etc. that occurred after the last revision of this book, the LIBOR scandal, etc.
Are there some ideas and concepts that could still apply to today's markets? Yes but the text can be easily manipulated to fit one's arguements.
The world has changed but it seems many that believe this book is an answer to today's woes are not taking the global view.

So many choices I'm not sure!

The narration was fine. This feels and sounds like an overly simplified middle school textbook on economy.

Unimpressed.

Best and easiest depiction of how markets work and tha danger of not evaluating policies holistically.

Best explanation of economics, accessible to both novice and expert. Should be required reading I order to vote.

This clear, concise, and delightfully short book should be read by every one!

I picked up this book on the recommendation of Mike Rowe. Mike Rowe? You say. Pitchman, realty TV star, and opera singer? Yes. And he's a pretty smart guy too. But that recommendation was misguides. This book is rife with fundamentally flawed math and logic. Those flaws dilute the message. What results is point of view supported arguments contrived to give them strength. Forget this book. Head over instead to Freakonomics.

Good if you're a union member in the 1950s looking for socialism to fix your problem, otherwise a little light.

The explanations for such complex economics was wonderfully done. The narrator was easy to listen to and did not distract from the information.

One of the great tragedies is that economics isn't sexy or easy to understand, so baseless emotional arguments win our over reason.

Economics in One Lesson makes Econ a little sexier and a lot easier to understand.

The reader does sound like my old math teacher though, which is unfortunate

Everyone should listen and understand this book. Most all of subjects were taught in grade school but may have fallen on deaf ears, try again.

I was very disappointed with this book. I purchased the book with the intention of learning the basics of economics to help me better understand the subject for a class I was taking. I didn't feel I learned anything that would have helped prepare me for the class other than a little on politics and taxes.

Be more informative about the subject the title portrays, or change the title as it is misleading.
