Crunch: Why Do I Feel So Squeezed? (And Other Unsolved Economic Mysteries)
As a non-economist but interested in finance, I found this book to be interesting... The book is well written and I really enjoy the delivery method of the author's writing (sounds like he's talking to you directly). The content itself is vague and can be applicable to the majority of the population. It brings up common questions and answers it with relatively well thought out arguments. Overall, well enjoyed but not my type of book. if you are interested in economics or want an intro to economics, this is a book I'd gladly recommend.
