However, this book is really good for three things: 1 if you understand a little bit about economics and policy making but want to understand it more 2 if you want to understand the conservative methodology and reasoning that set the stage for current economic policy pursued by Republicans and 3 if you really like learning about economics issues in the early s or need to do so for whatever reason.
