This is a book that is good on a number of levels. We may extrapolate these layers of quality from an analysis of thetitle. First word "help" implies help, always a helpful concept. Next two words, "the basics" speak to the ignorant and slothful among us, such as me. I know I couldn't handle "the advanceds." Final two words "borrowing money," tie the bundle toegther. Who doesn;t want to borrow money? I do it, you do it, we all do it. Even the United States government does it. Even the African government does it. Especially the African government. In short, this a book you can judge by its cover.
Better Than the Communist Manifesto
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This book is much more positive than Marx's work. Karl is all like money is bad, but Robbie proves that it can be really good. Robin is also more attractive than Karl. Whereas Karl had a big beard, Robbie is clean shaven. Personally, I think Karl had a big beard so he could hide money underneath. Anyway, this book rocks it to the bone.

When I came to this country 11 years ago I didn't speak a word of English. American culutre was caustic and mysterious to me. To truly become an American I stayed up late into the night reading in my apartment. Gross's simple, direct prose aided greatly in my mastery of English. The pictures were also helpful. Thank you Dr. Gross

The syncopated strands of post Hegelian logic, the allusions to a neo structuralist synthesis of deductive reason, the pure, demonstrative joy of economics and the evocative portrayal of Shylockian ethics characterize this paragon of modern ingenuity. A compelling vaunt through basic monetary policy no American should dare miss.
