What comes to mind when you think about economics? Nothing good, if you are the reader I most want to reach. You know little or nothing of it and have always found it forbidding. Even if you took an introduction to economics in college (perhaps at your father’s insistence), you remember little of it. The class was boring. Depending on your age, you were presented with screechy blackboards with chalk dust flying or whiteboards or slides with diagram after diagram. Your professor, whether droning or excited, would have been telling you that diagrams were the best way to really understand economics.
