The Cartoon Introduction to Economics, Volume I: Microeconomics

"Learning economics should be fun. Klein and Bauman make sure that it is."—N. Gregory Mankiw, Professor of Economics, Harvard University, and author of Principles of Economics

"Hilarity and economics are not often found together, but this book has a lot of both. It also does a great job of explaining important economic concepts simply, accurately, and entertainingly—quite a feat."—Eric Maskin, Nobel Laureate in Economics

"Bauman and Klein present solid basic economics in a brilliant cartoon wrapper. The authors successfully shine a happy light on the dismal science."—Hugo Sonnenschein, Distinguished Service Professor and President Emeritus, University of Chicago

"This is a seriously funny book! Klein and Bauman offer an enlightening and entertaining look at why our day-to-day choices matter and how they all combine. Students will find this a great addition to their textbooks, and critics of the discipline will learn what economics is really about."—Diane Coyle, author of The Soulful Science

"Had Art Spiegelman and John Maynard Keynes collaborated on a comic book on economics, they could only have dreamed of coming up with something this good."—Jonathan A. Shayne, founder of Shayne & Co., LLC

"There's a lot to like in Klein and Bauman's The Cartoon Introduction to Economics. It's fun, it's funny, and it teaches a lot of economics."—Bryan Caplan, EconLog, The Library of Economics and Liberty

"This book is well organized and direct, using its overviews to deflate some of the pomposity that surrounds economic theory. While pro–free trade, the book regards the theories it presents with a slight grain of salt, giving the reader an even broader view of economic history, with the trends that worked short- and long-term . . . Those who are assigned a class in microeconomics might find some enjoyment in this book, a potential respite from their dry assignments."—Publishers Weekly
