    Easy and great read
  

*by P***O on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 21, 2012*

I just received this book today and just finished it. I purchased this book to help my son (8 years old) to begin to understand the value of money and economic systems. As an amateur economist and also a financial professional, this is an excellent, simple, and easy to understand book about the basics of money and the laws of supply and demand, which - regardless if we like it or not - drive our economic engine. It has, does, and always will, even if our politicians (and in many cases with the best of intentions) wish to control through price fixing, interest rates, and money supply to help avoid the bursts and bubbles. Unfortunately the over-meddling by our government/s only exacerbates the problem. There is a fine line between regulating and legislation vs. intervention, I would argue (and I believe this book articulates) that the line has blurred and that our government/s have moved into the dangerous realm of intervention that has plagued many civilizations over history.Socialism gives rise under economic stress and also with the best of intentions to help the people and businesses that are struggling. We have breed an entitlement generation, in which people have grown up to believe that everyone is a winner, failure is NOT an option, and that we are entitled to jobs, healthcare, homes, and the American Dream. We are not entitled to anything, but rather have the RIGHT to pursue our dreams.A fun, but excellent quote, by Spock (from Star Trek) right before he gives his life to save the crew is so important and valid as to the problems that plague our government. "Logic clearly dictates that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few." Yet our own government has ignored this very important point and we have sacrificed the many (through higher taxes and the lapse of many of our personal freedoms) to save the few (unions, special interest, and corporations). If we continue on the path to serve the few and the expense of the many, we will continue not only see our currency devalue (inflate), but also our liberties to erode.This is an excellent and simple book of common sense, but sometimes even knowledgeable and wise adults forget the simple and over complicate issues.This should be recommended reading for every school kid."All paper money returns to its intrinsic value....zero!" - Voltaire

    Surprise
  

*by R***T on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 7, 2022*

Was not familiar with the author, my 10 year old is suddenly anti-union and espousing libertarian ideas. This book is pretty biased imo. Just know what you’re getting into…

    Good book on basic economics - worth buy
  

*by H***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 8, 2007*

Using LinkedIn I've recently connected with a friend from twenty years ago. We've exchanged some emails and will try to get together when he is back in town. When my friend learned that I had three daughters he recommended several books by Richard J. Maybury. I requested a couple from my library. The first one I got was What Happened To Penny Candy?What Happened To Penny Candy? is a short book of 80 pages. It is a quick read. The book is structured as a set of letters from "Uncle Eric" to his nephew "Chris." In these letters the book explains the basics of economics. It does a good job. Over the last thirty years I've read dozens, maybe even hundreds, of books on economics. This book does a good job of covering the basics. I even learned a few things. For example I didn't realize that the reason quarters and dimes were lined with the little ridges on the side was to show if little pieces were clipped off the coin.Richard Maybury, the author, writes from a strong Libertarian viewpoint. He explains why government manipulation causes problems. Someone who feels government is the solution to economic problems will not enjoy this book.I'll return the book to the library and buy my own copy. I plan to have each of my daughters read this book. It is short enough that they won't fuss too much about having to ready a dry topic. Economics is an important subject, one that I want my daughters to master.
