Introduction

The introduction to Naked Economics revolves around the ideas that economics is  relevant to everyone. The author, Charles Wheelan uses this space to show that his book is written for smart beginners. One passage that particularly stood out to me was, "Economics is like gravity: Ignore it and you will be in for some rude surprises" (xxii). This sentence stuck with me because it was like a bolt of lightening. It puts things into perspective. Gravity, it is safe to assume, that everyone is aware of it's meaning and importance. Not so much with economics. But by tying the importance of economics along with such a well known idea, puts this course in perspective.
