Critiques
An interesting collection of brief biographies of economists from ancient times to today, describing their accomplishments or major theories in an accessible way and with some effort to put the long arc in context. The selection was pretty fairly done, and each bio/summsry was better than I expected.
Very basic but extremely clearly written. You can read this to your kids at bedtime.
This book is exactly as advertised. A little book on the History of Economics. It takes you from the barter system to the present. You get a general understanding of the many theories throughout the years.

It's well-written, gives important concepts in Macro-economics and Micro-economics. My Favorite part was learning about important thinkers in Economics. I desire to compare Economy of Tamil Nadu, India with the West. I am fascinated by questions like, Why do villages do not hold better jobs? How is Wealth created?
Overall, highly recommended to anyone with cursory curiosity in questions about wealth.
