Unfortunately, public debate about the economy has become dominated by myths and nonsense. However, if you prefer economic sense to economic fairy-tales and if you'd like to be rather better-informed about economic matters than the average panellist on Question Time, this may be the book you are looking for. This book performs the simple function of highlighting a selection of the myths commonly relied upon during popular economic debates and explaining - not in technical terms, but in plain English - just how misleading they are.
