This is a great, easy-to-read-book about a necessary topic
This book is the fourth or fifth book in the “Uncle Eric” series that we’ve purchased. Every one has been both easy to read/understand and filled with timely and important information.These book should be required reading for schoolkids and college students!

Making the Complex Simple
Richard Maybury has found a delightful way of explaining otherwise abstruse aspects of economics such as inflation, deflation, and velocity in a manner that can easily be understood by the lay person. His style of writing is both lucid and to-the-point. He explains runaway inflation by providing a very interesting example from France during the 1790s. His analysis of runaway inflation breaks it down into three easily recognizable stages. Maybury is also a student of history and his book will give you many examples of history repeating itself. All in all, I found the book both enjoyable and illuminating.

A must read about inflation and the velocity of money
Richard Maybury explains a topic that many people don’t understand; how the government meddles with the economy. He explains inflation coupled with velocity. Velocity is part of the inflation equation and Mr. Maybury does an excellent job explaining how this works. I consider this a must read for everyone.

Excellent little book
If you are a libertarian or want to learn more about the stages of inflation this is a great little book.Great for home schoolers and anyone worried about Federal Reserve and possible worldwide collapse of thecentral banking system. Also subscribe to Richard Maybury’s investment newsletter, it is a great read.The book talks about money velocity/demand and how central banks cannot control this, very relevant asQE2 ends late June. I wish I had the Uncle Eric series when I was high school/junior high instead of theneo-Keynesian fallacies they still teach.Vote Ron Paul 2012

Shape your future wisely!
Our economy is run in a way that few Americans understand. After you read this simple and engaging work, then your new found knowledge will place you in the top 1% of Americans that understand how certain forces shape our lives everyday. This book will shape the way you view the world. It will give you the power to shape your own future.

The Best
This book helps make sense out of watching the news everyday. Clear explanation of how inflation can cause lack of faith in a currency which leads to excess velocity ( the speed at which money changes hands) and how this can cause (and has caused in the past) the collapse of a currency.
