A must read for literally everyone. Everyone. Everyone.
Many of the other 5 star reviews explain better in words than I could just how profoundly important, yet easy to read, this book is. My only contribution to these reviews is to say that I see this book as being like "Freakonomics for grown ups". It offers excellent insight into economic phenomenons with relatable examples, without simply scratching the surface of the implications of such, as Freakonomics does.
Basic Economics has mass market value without obvious mass market appeal. A must read for literally everyone. Everyone. Everyone.
