@kennwhite @scamshrimpi @TimHarford I second the suggestion to read almost anything by @TimHarford . If you daughter is taking macro, then she ought to read "The Undercover Economist Strikes Back" which is his macro book. Great storytelling, blended with real insight make it both readable and insightful.      source

@MarkVinPaul @mslater_johnson @Gen_Pov @ezraklein This is the audio book you listened to? I find it to be an incredibly relatable explanation of macro ideas. I'm surprised that you didn't like it.      source
